In winter, Derby dials everything up. The definition of ‘green’ gets re-defined by our forest, the sparkle in our night's sky captivates your imagination… and the trails, let's not forget how well they ride through winter. Our Winter Experience is based around the structure of our Iconic 3-Day Experience, but we re-jig our itinerary and activities to work to the natural strengths of this time of year. If you haven't tried riding in Derby's winter yet, it's time you did. What makes our Winter Experience unique? A unique riding itinerary and a bespoke winter menu, including a lake-side campfire pre-dinner canapés setting and star watching session.

Over two-day 'mini-break', you will ride through the stunning and world-acclaimed Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails network. We'll make the most of your time with us, on and off the trail. What makes our 2-Day Experience unique? On day 2 you will visit the dramatic 'Mount Paris Dam'.
