What visitors say
4 stars as the cafe is current closed but what a beautiful place to visit! Plenty of parking, options for length of stay available. Walking at a leisurely pace with the dog I followed the red route, it took just over 2 hours (paid for 4h when parking) and is easy to follow. It is steep and slippy in parts so sensible footwear is a must! Toilets open at the start/end and recycling/waste bins just outside. Plenty of benches along the route to stop and have a snack :)

Fantastic forest for walking, trail running and mountain biking! All from easy to challenging. The bike shop is great. My only disappointment since our last visit is that the visitor centre and cafe have now shut down! This really needs sorting ASAP to bring it back to its former glory.

One of the most beautiful mountain biking centres in the UK, where world class singletrack trails lead you through stunning woodland scenery and past spectacular waterfalls. On this occasion, we only had time to ride a couple of trails, a blue and a red, both were fantastic and we plan to be back very soon.
