Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that you even tried to cycle that!!!! I am in total admiration you even pushed your bike up it – my husband would have been in trouble for a long time for that lol! Ahh yes it is a really good law – it’s basically where you have a right to enter land to walk (so any fields, mountains, heaths etc are accessible), so we have lots of footpaths going through private land. You’re right though, I’d never thought how lucky we are to have that 🙂 Thanks for reading x

We stayed four nights in Castleton a few years ago as part of a longer trip in England and Wales. We lugged our bicycles over from America and cycled up Winnat’s Pass! Well, to be honest, I tried to, but it was so steep that I had to get off and push my bike up. It was so steep that even doing that was exhausting. Now imagine how tiring it was to push my bike up AND yell at my husband (who managed to get all the way up on two wheels – grrr) for choosing that route! Thankfully, we also did some hiking as well. Loved wandering through the farmer fields among the cows and sheep. You can’t do that here – everything is fenced off if it’s owned by a farmer or rancher. My husband is from Newark-upon-Trent and told me that you folks have a law that enables hikers to cross lands like that, even if the lands are privately owned. That’s such a great law!
