Park at Blackpool Mill, steady climb to the other car park by the A4075. Take care crossing as poor visibility and cars doing 60+. Once into Canaston Woods plenty of loops and trails.

Great selection of varied trails around the reservoir that branch off the family cycle route. Some quite challenging if it’s your first visit. The pump track and trail at the start is great to warm up and fun for the kids. Bike hire is available if needed.
