Waymarked 20 mile, mostly off road route for off-road bikes (it's been done on a cyclocross) on shared bridleways. Some stony/slippy/singletracky bits. Look out for the Kites :-)

Completed this this weekend. The GPX here is fine and helped me when I did miss a red arrow here or there. The route is lovely for the most part, a couple of overgrown dirt trails and rocky sections so not suitable for road bike/tires Mostly offroad with a few short sections to connect up trails. Would recommend this route. June/'24

Great route, sometimes difficult to find the signs, but if you look hard enough, they are there!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
