Highlight • Natural

Wyver Lane Nature Reserve is a superb spot for an amble, particularly for wildlife lovers. It comprises two pools surrounded by reed beds and water meadows.

It's an important wetland …

This is really great loose rocky descent down to Ashover Road named Longwalls Lane.

Enjoy some mega big rocky features and a few drops, so prepare to have fun!

It certainly makes for a challenging technical climb too.

The Chevin Descent to Milford

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a really fun and fast blast with some great rocky features. Best on a mountain bike, but can also be fun on a gravel bike too, if you're happy to take it a bit steadier!
