Slaidburn War Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

A quiet spot to take in the past on the way through this lovely village in the heart of the Forest of Bowland. The YHA on the square is an excellent Base for a weekend adventure

Intriguing witch memorabilia followed by a lovely fire track descent off the Fell

Salter Fell Descent

Highlight • MTB Park

Lots of big boulder loose pack and mixed surface. It's rideable but definitely better on big tyres or with a high degree of MTB/CX skill!

The Old Salt Road

Mostly rideable gravel tracks for miles connecting High Salter and Slaidburn across this beautiful high Fell in the Forest of Bowland

High Salter Rough Section

Highlight • Cycleway

Whilst most of High Salter is rideable on a standard gravel bike, there are loose pack sections that you'll probably have to walk - rough estimate 95% of the Hornby Road is rideable though!
