Bored of the usual things to do in Derby and Nottingham?  Mountain Biking in Derbyshire is the ideal outdoor activity for all groups, including hens and stags.  Our bikes are 24 speed and some 21 speed comfort bikes available – all are top brand

You can choose to cycle round the reservoir or take the bikes off site and go wherever you like

There is a leg friendly 3 mile route or the full 8 mile reservoir circuit passing through local villages – the main trail is next to the water’s edge sharing some of the most spectacular views of the reservoir

You can cycle round the main trail in 1 hour if you’re going fast, 2 hours if going moderate or 3 hours if you plan stopping for lunch along the way

They also link to Tissington and the High Peak Trails – experience some gorgeous picturesque routes!

Mountain Biking
The bike hire was a brilliant idea. The bikes we're a decent spec and the trail is the perfect distance. Decent pub along the way so cheers again!

All the fun with no drama


Early December we undertook a stag do booked through Hard Days Knight (HDK). Greg and the team there made the whole experience as easy and seamless as possible, helping us book amazing accommodation in Belper for 13 people and then finding us fantastic activities to fill the stag. Greg was a pleasure to wok with being friendly and understanding as our plans shifted around a bit and organised a shooting experience and pub tour for the stag both of which went down amazingly. The shooting experience as a fun filled morning of competition and laughs then the pub tour took us to some fantastic pubs, with great choices of beer and food. We'd all be happy to do the tour again and see what other pubs Greg would find for us! Through HDK we had transport to and from the activities sorted and it made the weekend flow so smoothly. I can't thank HDK enough for making it such an easy experience and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to organise a Stag or similar event. Thank you so much :)

First of all would love to say thank you to greg and the team from the start right up to the end they was always helpful and never to busy to help. We booked a stag weekend with them that consisted with a log cabin, quad biking and a zombie experience the whole group had an amazing time so much that we are now looking at doing it yearly (after convincing the wives). So Thank you to HDK for an amazing stag weekend that was planned by yourselves. Ben

I used HDK for my sisters hen do. If you want hassle free please and organisation, use Hard Days Knight was effortless . I just picked where and when and what activities we wanted and it was all organised for us. Very very helpful and accommodating couldn’t do enough, was a pleasure. Answered any questions kept in touch.
