I once rode here on my mtb years ago from Chesterfield along the Five Pits Trail on a day very similar to the weather when I did this hike. I forgot how good the views are from the sculpture, breath taking :) Bring some sandwiches and a drink and enjoy the view.

Silverhill Wood Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

This lake is a picturesque rest stop on a bike ride, especially scenic in spring with blooming wildflowers. It's thought to be the highest point in Nottinghamshire, and has a wide gravel track going through for easy access.

September 24, 2022,Brampton, 5 pits & Hardwick

Having seen the state of the rim on my rear wheel I wasn't going to be hammering the rocks of the Peak District.

So I decided to put some fitness miles in. This route is great for building fitness that's for sure as you aim for as high a cadence as you can on the former pit railways.

February 6, 2023,MTB Ride to Pleasley Pit via 5 Pits trail🙂🚴

I've been meaning to ride the 5 Pits Trail out to see the Miners sculpture for ages and couldn't have picked a better day weather wise🙂🚴.
