We're excited to announce that we have almost completed waymarking the Bolsover Loop - a scenic circular route exploring the heart of north Derbyshire. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist, a casual walker, or simply someone seeking a day out in the countryside, the Bolsover Loop is the perfect way to explore the rich heritage, beautiful landscapes, and welcoming towns and villages of the Bolsover district.

And by popular demand, the .gpx file for the Bolsover Loop is now available, making it easier than ever to follow the route on your GPS device, smartphone, or fitness tracker.

🚴‍♂️ What is the Bolsover Loop?

The Bolsover Loop is a carefully designed circular trail that links together some of the area's most picturesque countryside, greenways, canal paths, and quiet lanes. This route offers a mix of off-road tracks and quiet roads suitable for both walkers and cyclists, and is ideal for a full-day adventure or broken into shorter sections for a more relaxed outing.

With new waymarking recently installed along the route, navigation is simpler and more accessible for everyone - no more second-guessing at junctions or wondering if you're still on track!

🗺️ New: GPX File Now Available

To make your journey even smoother, you can now download the GPX file for the full Bolsover Loop. GPX files allow you to load the route directly into your chosen navigation device or app - so you can follow turn-by-turn, even in areas with limited mobile signal.
