Review for Cut Gate Path, Peak District

Phila77:

Good facilities for the trail at either end at the car park at Langsett Barn or the upper Derwent visitor centre. The trail is very remote and exposed once your on the tops, so better check the weather before heading out. Cut gate is full of tricky climbs with rocky singletrack and flagstones but a lot of fun and its Well worth adding a loop of Langsett reservoir along the yorkshire water bridleway through the woods to the ruins of North America farm before the climb back along cut gate to the upper Derwent valley. Well worth waiting for a dry spell and a bit of sun to get the best out of the route.

The descent down to Langsett res is the best I've done in the peaks.
