Cycling and Motoring i From London ii From Birmingham iv Through the District vi It is hardly necessary to remind tourists that the Peak is a specially hilly country ; further, that most of the roads cross the hills from valley to valley rather than follow the course of any particular one. The great exception to this rule is the main road from Derby to Matlock, Bakewell, Castleton, and Ashopton, which hugs the Derwent all the way to Ashopton ; its tributaries, the Noe, etc., from Mytham Bridge to Castleton, and the Ashop, another tributary, from Ashopton to the Snake Inn. This route is best taken the reverse way — tackling the long, steep ascent from Glossop [p. 149) at once. The road from Rowsley to Buxton keeps company with the Wye as far as that coyest and most erratic of streams will permit — which is not saying much. On all sides except the south the inner part of the district is hemmed in by hills from 1,000 to 1,800 feet above the sea. The following are the chief roads of access :— Manchester to Buxton (1000 ft.), summit-level, Macclesfield „ „ „ Leek „ „ Glossop „ Ashopton (600 ft.) Sheffield „ „ „ „ Hathersage (500 ft.) „ „ Baslow (400) by Froggatt Edge „ „ direct, summit-level, Roii'sley (300 ft.) " „ „ Barley Bale (280 ft.) „ Matlock (250 ft.) The general quality of the Derbyshire main roads is very good, except that in very dry weather or after any considerable rainfall those that are metalled with limestone are apt to be very dusty or very sticky — powder or mortar. This is particularly the case on the high ground between Buxton, Ashbourne, Bakewell, Baslow, and Hope, which is a limestone country throughout. We append a few notes on the approaches for motorists and cyclists from 1 iondon, Birmingham, etc. Our Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire friends are too familiar with the runs to need any information beyond that given in the body of the book and on the little map opposite.

Another pleasant variation from Leicester is by one of the routes through Charnwood Forest. Those who start from London (Mansion House) by the old north route will probably do well to take train to Finchley (7 m.) or High Barnet (9), both on the G.N. line. This route joins the Edgware route (Variation a) at St. Albans. As far as surface and hills go, there is little to be said about any of the routes till Derby is reached. There is not very much of special interest on any of these routes after St. Albans is passed, the roads being good and fairly level throughout, and the scenery of the ordinary midland counties type. St. Albans is within comfortable reach of London by rail (19J m. from St. Pancras; 24 from Euston. 3rd el., Is. Ihd.; cycle, (W.). Its importance dates from the Roman period, when, under the name of Yerulaniiiun, it was the most im- portant town in South Britain. It was on the great road northward through the midland counties— Watling Street— and derives its name from St. Alban, a Boman soldier, the first Christian martyr in Britain, executed here A.D. 304. Only a fragmentary wall and a fosse remain to indicate the site of the old town, which lile off to the west. In the reign of Claudius, Boadieea surprised it and put j- of its inhabitants to the sword. Milton calls it Jugera Cassibelauni ivelaunus"). To the tourist nowadays its one object of interest is its glorious Abbey, which was made a cathedral in 1877- It is one of the" ' and finest buildings of its period— the longest (540 ft.) of our cathedrals except Winchester, which beats it by 20 feet. The is cruciform, and it has a fine Norman tower nearly 150 feet high. The various pari- date from the 11th century (nave and tower) to the 14th, when the Lady Chapel was added. The choir belongs to the 13th. il The church, with its enormous nave, severely Norman. pinnacled transept, graceful choir, lofty square tower, and grand, ornate, rich interior, is an imposing object inferior to no minster in the kingdom.'' Eecently a new E.E. west facade and several large windows have been given by Lord Grimthorpe at a cost of more Peak.— Pink Inset. CYCLING AND MOTORING. iii than £100,000. The interior has been carefully restored. It boasts the longest Gothic nave in the world, with E.E. and Dec. details. The stained glass (N. aisle) is the work of the 15th century ; the painted ceiling of the choir of the 14th, of the chancel of the 15th. Note also the mediaeval screen behind the altar, restored ; the chapels and chantries ; the tomb of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester ; the shrine of St. Alban, the Lady Chapel, and the very fine brass of Abbot of De la Mare. The only remains of the 4'onveiitual JCni Itlings is the Perp. Gate, which stands W. of the church, and is now a school. St. >Ii<-lia«'l"s C'lmreli, § mile W. of the Abbey on our road to Dunstable, and within the walls of Verulam, contains an alabaster monument, by Rysbrack. to Sir Francis Bacon; « Qui. postquam omnia naturalis sapiential ct civilis arcana evolvisset ( ''. cvolverat), Naturae decreturn explevit." The highest point on our whole route (554 ft.) is \\ miles short of Dunstable (once Dunstaple), " a British settlement prior to the Roman invasion, and situated at the intersection of Watling Street and the Icknield Way. It was overrun by the Danes, and rebuilt by Henry I., who erected for himself a mansion and founded the Priory Church, a fine Norman building, recently restored. In it the divorce between Henry VIII. and Catherine of Arragon was pronounced in 1533 by Cranmer. Among other illustrious visitors were King John, Louis the Dauphin with the rebel barons in 1217, Henry III., Edward III., Henry IV., Elizabeth, and Charles I., who put up at the Red Lion on his way to the fateful field of Naseby. The town is mainly occupied in straw-plaiting. At Hockcliffe (326 ft.), where the Whitt Horse dates from 1566 and has many details of great interest, it is best, as before stated, to leave the main Holyhead road and proceed by Woburn Park to Newport Pagnell. Woburn Abbey (Duke of Bedford) lies a mile to the right of the road. It has a fine collection of pictures (shown on Fridays, 10 to 4, by order obtained at the Park Farm Office). Beyond Woburn there is little of interest to call for a halt till one reaches the busy and at the same time ancient town of Northampton, 1^ miles short of which is one of the three remaining Eleanor's Crosses, erected here and at every other resting-place of his wife's body on its way to interment at Westminster by Edward I. Northampton has a population of some 90,000, chiefly occupied in the boot-and-shoe trade. Here Margaret of Anjou was defeated in battle and Henry VI. taken prisoner in 1460. The chief things worth seeing are St. Peter's Church, a solid Norman structure of the middle of the 12th century, restored by Sir Gilbert Scott ; the Church of St. Sepulchre, to which is assigned a still earlier date — one of the few round churches of England, also restored by Scott ; and the Church of All Saints, wherein is a statue, by Chantrey, of Spencer Perceval, assassinated in the House of Commons in 1812. Also, in the porch, a tablet with the words : — Here under lyetli John Ballet Born in this Town he was above 120 years old & had his hearing sight & memory to y last. He lived in 3 on buried y« 14th f April 1706. Peak. — Pink Inset. iv CYCLING AND MOTOEING. A little S.F. of the Market Square— one of the largest in England Hue modern Gothic Town Hull. At Market Harborougb the house in which Charles I. made his headquarters before the battle of Naseby (1645) is still pointed out. Naseby is 7 miles away S. by W. Fine churchyard and view. Xelcester, the next calling-place of interest, boasts of a popula- tion of 227,000. It is a seat of the hosiery and shoe manufacture, and is a well-built town overflowing with business. A fine modern Memorial Qros$ 3 with effigies of Simon de Montfort and other bene- factors of Leicester, graces its centre ; and the old Jewry Wail, a relic of the Romans, and so called from the Jews having at one time been confined to within its limits, is worth a visit. Hard by is the interesting St. Nicholas Church. Leicester was the resting-place of Richard III. the night before Bosworth, and to Leicester his body was brought back. A building near Bow Bridge, over the river Soar, bears the inscription, " Near this spot lie the remains of Richard III., the last of the Plantageuets, 1485." Near at hand is a Roman pavement. A mile N. of the centre of the town, on our way onwards, are the remains of Leicester Abbey, where Cardinal Wolsey breathed his last in 1530. At Loughborough the " Great Paul " of St. Paul's Cathedral was cast in 1882. At Quorndon (White Horse) we pass the kennels of the Quorn Hounds— the premier pack of England. There is nothing very remarkable on the rest of the way to Derby. Between Iieieester and Burton (variation d) is Aslib.v-de-la-iEourli, where the Oastle, now a ruin, plays an important part in "Ivanhoe," and put up Mary of Scotland for a night. On the near side of Burton we cross the Trent ; on the far side the Midland Railway, close to the station. For Tutbury, iee pp. 55-6 ; Sudbury, Cttoxeter, and Rocester,pp. 56-57 ; AkIi bourne, p. 59; good going all the way. From BIRMINGHAM to ASHBOURNE or DERBY.

There is no pleasant cycling road in this direction out of Birmingham, and it is best to take train to Gravelly Hill, Sutton, or Four Oaks. All the way beyond Aston to the last named place is a residential suburb of Birmingham. Sutton Park is famous for its hollies and picnics, and at Four Oaks is the old Birmingham racecourse. Sutton stands on a hill to which the ascent is some- what steep. Thence it is good running to Lichfield (principal hotel, the Georye — scene of Farquhar's " Beau's Stratagem''), which as every one knows, possesses one of the most beautiful though not one of the largest cathedrals in the kingdom. It dates mainly from' the 13th and 14th centuries, the oldest part being the lower part of the west half of the choir, the latest the West Front, restored and with nearly a hundred niches filled with modern figures. The three spires form an exquisite combination. The interior is worthy of Pink Inset CYCLING AND MOTORING. v the exterior, and is mostly in the Decorated style, though it merges into or rather emerges from Early English in parts of the choir, which is considerably out of a direct line with the nave. Note the reredos and stalls by Sir Gilbert Scott, and the floor representing the history of the diocese in Minfon tiles ; the Lady Chapel, with its polygonal apse, and windows brought in the 16th century from a convent near Liege, and the octagonal Chapter House, which has a ribbed roof supported by a central column, after the manner of Worcester (the patriarch in this method), Salisbury, Wells, and Elgin. Amongst the Monuments are those of Johnson, Garrick, Lady Mary Montague, and, last but not least, the Sleeping Children, by Ohantrey. This eon only be compared with the one by the same sculptor in Ashbourne Church, described on page 60 of this book. • Br. Joliiison is the hero of Lichfield. He was born in a house at the corner of the Market Place— three wooden pillars in front— where a colossal statue of him was erected in 1838. Except for its cathedral, Lichfield is an ordinary red -brick midland town, and thence on to Burton the scenery is of the ordi- nary midland type. Near Alrewas the Trent is joined by the Tame and crossed by a very graceful bridge of three arches. The road is about level throughout. There is nothing to be said about Burton except its beer, and the old bridge — or what remains of it — across the Trent, dating from about the time of the Conquest, 1,545 feet long, and having 36 arches. Issuing from its mile-long main street, we pass through a labyrinth of railway sidings, and have nothing more specially to please, except a level road and a view of the taper spire of Repton Church (part Saxon), till we enter Derby. The Midland Hotel (at the Midland Station) is 300 yards off the main thoroughfare, the Royal and St. James' are on it, near the Market Place. From Derby to Matlock Bath the distance is 16 miles and the going good without anything serious in the way of hills, the valley of the Derwent being scrupulously followed throughout. The road goes N. from the Market Place by Irongate, and in 2 miles passes Allestree (inn) village and (3 m.) Hall (J m. from road), and (4£) Duffield. The interesting Church here is to the right of the main road, across the railway. It contains effigies of Sir Roger and Lady Mynors (1536) and a curiously inscribed monument to Anthony Bradshaw, great-uncle of the regicide. From Diitlielcl (200 feet above the sen) an undulating road follows the course of a tributary stream (the Bccltlbourne), and a branch railway to S/mltlf (4 //(.) and Wirlis»voi-tii i 9 in., Red Lion, Hdworth's '/'■ mp.; 500/1.; seep, 17). Thence there is an ascent of 200 feet in a mile followed by a descent of 400 in a like distance to the Greyhound at (. 'mm ford ( 15^ '"• team DerbJ i, only to lie ridden wjtl care. Thence nearly level to (fatlock Bath (16 mi; chief hotels; station, 10^). The main road proceeds to Belper (8 m.; Century Temp.), where the chief object of interest is the chapel of St. John the Baptist, of which Mr. Cox tells us that it was " founded in the 13th century as a chantry for the keepers of Duffield Forest." It has been very carefully restored, and has the original bracket altar of stone in situ - Peak— Pink Inset. vi CYCLING AND MOTORING; I the east wall. The large cotton-mills of Messrs. Strutt are at Belper. From here to Matlock Bath the road calls for no description beyond that given on p. 3. At Ambergate (10$ m.) it passes be- tween the Hurl Anns and the station, ami at Whatstandwell (12$) we cross to the west side of the river, and shortly after follow the curve of the stream under Lea Hurst {p. 15) and pass the terminus of the old High Peak mineral line. ROUTES THROUGH THE DISTRICT. The following are the principal routes through the Peak District, an alphabetically : — (1.)

Ashbourne to Grange Mill, 10 m. ; Cromford Vil- lage, 14 ; Matlock Bath, 15, p. 75. Remarks. — Cyclists passing through Ashbourne may with advan- tage take to their wheels either at Derby or Uttoxeter. The road between Derby and Ashbourne (13 m.) is hilly. That from Uttox- eter is flat as far as Eocester (4 m.)~, and afterwards rather hilly, but the landscapes between Rocester and Ashbourne (8 m.) are very charming. The road passes through Ellastone and Mayfield (see p. 57), places associated with the names of George Eliot (as ihe scene of " Adam Bede ") and Tom Moore respectively. All the Peak-ward roads from Ashbourne involve long though not very steep ascents, to heights of from 800 to 1,200 feet. That to Buxton almosts gains its summit-level two miles short of Newhaven Inn, whence it is a good and easy run to Buxton, unless the weather is very wet or very dry ; in the former case all limestone roads are sticky, in the latter powdery. The branches to Bakewell, Bowsley, and Matlock descend rapidly during the last few miles of + heir courses. That via Middleton and Alport to Eowsley is the most pleasing. The direct road from Ashbourne to Matlock reaches its summit at the crossing of the High Peak railway, 1$ miles short of the inn at Grange Mill, whence it is a fine ran down the Via Gellia to Cromford. (3.) Buxton to Dovedale and Ashbourne, see above and p. 108. (4.) Buxton to Castleton, 11$ m.-, p. 106. A dull but fair road, with a sharp ascent to the outskirts of the town.

From Tideswell, direct route to Stoney Middleton (5 m.) better than the Eyam diversion. Fairly level from Stoney Middleton to Rowsley. Haddon and Chatsworth, via Bakewell and Edensor, make a total round of 37 m. (6.) Buxton to Bakewell, 12 m. ; Rowsley, 15$ ; Mat- lock Bath, 21, p. 102. One long hill between Buxton and Tadding- ton, 6 m., followed by a long and steep descent requiring care. Level beyond Bakewell. (7-8.) Buxton to Leek, see p. 80, or Macclesfield, 83. See reverse routes below. (9.) Buxton to Whaley Bridge Station, 7$ m., p. 85. A sharp rise for the first 1$ miles ; then a very fine gradual descent. Road admirably engineered ; Goyt valley very pretty. *** Buxton being 1,000 feet above sea-level is a harder place to get to than to get away from on a cycle. (10-13.)

Hathersage to A shop ton, 5 m.\ Snake Inn, \\h (pp. 133, 137); Glosson, 18J (/'. 135). This wain road is the only fairly level one through the Peak District. Except for one or two steepish rises and falls between Baslow and Hathersage, it follows the river-level nearly all the way to Castleton and Ashopton. Of the branches the one to Buxton is level as far as Bakewell, and hilly beyond, Taddington being one of the highest villages in England ; that to Eyam involves a sharp rise between Stoney Middleton and Eyam, but the main road may be regained in 2$ miles, near Grindleford Bridge, 3 miles short of Hathersage, by a capital road, affording a tine view.

The Baslow ami Sheffield road rises by a long hill of nearly miles to the tog of the moor, after which it is good running way. i 11 the Snake, 1,070 feet, and Glossop the road rises to a height of 1,680 feet.

The routes from Sheffield are described and compared on p. 124. They all involve a long ascent to the summit-level of the moorland intervening between the town and the Derwent valley. For Baslow the ascent commences a little short of Totley, 5 miles on the way, and continues for 2 miles ; for Castleton it is almost continuous for 5 miles, commencing 2 miles from Sheffield and ending at Stoney Bidge (old toll-gate), half a mile short of Fox House Inn. The Ashopton road is a trying one because it involves two long hills with a dip into the deep Bivelin valley between them. (25.) Whaley Bridge to Chesterfield by Peak Forest, 27 m. This route, though shorter by 5 miles, is not to be compared for scenery or comfort with that by Buxton and Bake well (see pp. 85, 102, and 21). It is to a great extent up and down across a dull limestone upland. It hapel-en-le- Frith, 3$ m.\ p. 86; Peak Forest (7; [nn : 2$ m. from station) ; Lane Head Pub.
