Be careful in winter weather on these tracks. it is an elevated area, snow & ice capped. Two days after storm Eowyn January 2025, there had been snow fall and black ice was in loads of locations on these tracks. Speed was down considerably, being careful on how brakes are used. Warmer months this is a good location for MTB riding

Probably the best area to use as a base, the car park will fit maybe 14 cars in. Many trails start from this location, quick and easy to get onto the hills from here. Dog walkers and hikers do use this area commonly also
