When the White Peak Loop is complete it will link the market towns of Bakewell, Buxton and Matlock, and will thuus be a way of experiencing the Peak District National Park without travelling by car.

It is being developed as part of Derbyshire's Key Cycle Network.

Seventy one per cent (61.6km) of the route is now complete, but more funding is needed, and it may take some time to complete the missing links due to securing the necessary finance, landowner and other permissions.

The missing gaps are from the western end of the Monsal Trail at Topley Pike into Buxton, High Peak Junction (Cromford) to Matlock Railway Station and Rowsley to Bakewell through the Haddon Tunnels.

DCC has  recently been awarded a grant from government agency Active Travel England which is an exciting step forward towards putting in place the missing links for the route in and around Buxton.
