The shared-use route ends at the start of the Hathersage 30mph limit - if you'd rather not cycle on the A6187, take Jagger's Lane to the north.
Shared-use route (including horses) from Hathersage to Bamford - if you don't want to ride on the A6187 in the village of Hathersage, you can use Jagger's Lane, arriving from the right here.
Effectively single-sided cycle stands at YHA Hathersage - what a waste.

A lovely long descent (mostly) from above Abney to Hathersage
Byway Open to all Traffic - leading to Great Hucklow primary school (see #191874 ).
Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles - it's also signed to the primary school, so presumably the first bit is alright. Then it leads to the Hathersage road (see #191875 ), but I stuck to the regular road.
Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles - the shorter but hillier road from Tideswell towards Miller's Dale
The road from Tideswell to Miller's Dale - there's a more minor road to the left, but it drops and rises further.
Two roads across to Tideswell - the one to the right is quieter but drops and rises further, the one to the left is fairly level (and I didn't meet any traffic on this one either).

Fenced-off cycle stands at the former Bakewell station, on the Monsal Trail (NCN route 680) - I think the stonework needs repairing.
