This 3.8-mile (6.2 km) trail takes you through a pleasant woodland plantation, offering a natural setting for your ride. You will gain 412 feet (126 metres) in elevation, and the route typically takes about 35 minutes to complete. Look out for well-maintained, purpose-built sections like the "Blue Steel Trail" and "Cooking On Gas Trail," known for their flowing corners and sculpted features.
When planning your visit, remember that parking is conveniently available nearby; The Norfolk Arms is a good option to start your adventure. The trails here are known for being all-weather, meaning they generally stay in good condition even after heavy use. However, if you ride in winter, be prepared for the possibility of muddy patches.
This loop sits on the edge of the Houndkirk Moors, providing you with wider views of the stunning Peak District National Park as you ride. The plantation offers a unique blend of managed woodland and purpose-built trails, making it a popular spot for mountain bikers seeking a straightforward yet engaging experience.
