Dalby Forest mountain bike trails

Highlight • MTB Park

Dalby is great for a longer ride on a trail centre red. Not as technical as other UK reds but still provides a challenge. If you start at dixons hollow there is a good opportunity to warm up on some of the other trails. The only disadvantage to this is you will need to do some climbing towards the end of the ride. Majority of people start down at the visitor centre, so this is a good alternative when busy.

Dalby Forest Visitor Centre

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is the usual place where people go when they choose to do their Dalby Forest adventures! There is a car park here, a café, tourist information, trail maps, a bike hire place and much more. This area is a dark skies area, and so there are two observatories here hosting stargazing events from time to time!

An obvious place to make a stop on your tour, particularly if you need some good coffee and much-desired flapjack.

Dalby Forest Drive

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

A very comfortable tarmac stretch for a few kilometres on Dalby Forest Drive between Red Dike and Bickley Gate. An opportunity for smooth, fun and joyous pedalling in between the trees with relatively little traffic in the summer to barely any in the autumn and winter months.

Thornton-le-Dale — Village Highlights

Highlight • Settlement

Great is the call of the village of Thornton-le-Dale, often considered one of the prettiest villages in Yorkshire.

The thatched cottage, called Beck Isle, next to Thornton Beck, is a Grade-II listed building. There's also the beautiful All Saints' church on the eastern end of the village. Thornton Beck runs alongside the main road, a pretty spectacle in itself, and the pond in the middle of the village is a pretty sight as well.

There are places to eat and drink here, so you won't go hungry, either. Make sure you stop at this beautiful place. It's worth it!
