The area covered by this new 100% waterproof map provides fabulous opportunities from gentle routes in the valleys to some challenging climbs over the moorland that separates them. It is no surprise that this area formed the central part of stage one of the Tour de France in 2014. Many top riders already train in the area with its quiet roads and fantastic variety of routes. Cycling is a lovely way to explore either as part of a visit or a touring holiday.
