Oakenhill Cut-Through

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Detour from the main gravel track to follow the Valley stream, a little overgrown, but a nice alternative. Probably very muddy during winter. A tree down part way and a rooty climb.

Mallards Pike Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice steady firetrack climb alongside Mallards Pike. Plenty of single track trails from the main track if you fancy more of a challenge either up or downhill.

The Impossible Hairpin

Highlight • Climb

Great flowing gravel tack, speedy downhill, and a nice climb with stunning scenery after much tree chopping. The impossible hairpin is fine in a nice, easy gear.

Blackpool Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Can you spot the remnants of the Roman Road near the bridge?
