Adderstone GREEN Trail (shorter loop) — Dalby Forest

01:03

12.6km

100m

Cycling

This is a shorter alternative of the otherwise longer Adderstone trail: a gentle route around the top of the forest plateau. With only a few climbs or descents, the route will take you mostly through forest tracks and roads, and easy-to-ride paths from Adderstone's Field via Seavy Slack and then back via Snever Dale.

A very enjoyable, peaceful ride in the forest for cyclist of almost all abilities, including younger riders.

Seavy Slack Junction

Highlight • Trail

"Slack" means a depression between hills. This one is a lovely area to cycle in: green, forested tracks, excellent surface even in wet weather and very peaceful.

Incidentally, this junction here was Trackrod Rally Yorkshire 2023 (car racing).

Givendale Head Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The straight and wide forest road between Red Dike (north) and Givendale Head Farm (south) is a joy to cycle on: comfortable, with space for bikes side by side. It's worth stopping near the farm to look across the fields east: in the summer months, the vivid yellow colour of rape seed is amazing, contrasting with the green slopes of Trouts Dale beyond it.

Highlight • Forest

Straight and straightforward forest roads and tracks here - crossing a number of riggs (ridges) such as Housedale Rigg and Sutherbruff Rigg. Easy and pleasant cycling.

June 8, 2024,Dalby Forest Green Route

A fantastic family friendly route which winds its way through the forest on quiet trails. Starting and finishing at Dixons Hollow there is the promise of a bit of an adrenalin rush at the end on the pump track should you want it! Entry to Dalby is £10 per car and free for Forestry England members. There are lots of …

July 1, 2023,Dalby Forest Green Route

One of our family favourites, the Dalby green route sets off from the adventure hub car park and avoids the crowds further down in the forest so that you're unlikely to see many people. It also some great picnic spots along the route, with the option to take the long or short routes (as this was our baby's first bike …
