Sidley Forest Singletrack

Highlight • Forest

One of the many excellent tracks in the area. Rideable on a gravel bike, but more fun on a mountain bike.

Rumoured to have existed since prehistory, the Carrier's Way was used by pack pony drivers (carriers) transporting smelted lead to the River Tyne during the 17th century.

Their industry gave us this wonderful little trail across Burntshieldhaugh Fell.
