Starting from Carsington main Visitor Centre car park this ride is approx 8 miles and takes in green lanes, country lanes and some of the Carsington circular route. Hills is the name of the game with undulations the whole way round. The views from the top down onto the reservoir and around the surrounding countryside are fabulous. If all riders are happy to do so this route offers some good canter opportunities.
