The loop starts and finishes on the Family Forest Trail short loop but provides the chance to experience off-road trails and to progress skills and fitness levels. Taking riders around the whole site and mixed woodlands, it may be rough and uneven and includes jumps, bumps and berms. Suitable for mountain bikes only.

Good for beginners. Nothing that can’t just be rolled. A bit gravely. Description wrong, nothing tricky at all.

Good fun because even I can do it fast with my level of fitness... lots of windey singletrack but quite wide. Watch out for unexpected junctions with other trails.
Description is wrong which could put off beginners - ideal beginner/improver ride!

Description is wrong in terms of the TTFs available. It’s berms with a few mounds which are jumpable or rollable depending on your ability - nothing else. Despite that it’s a great simple blue with some nice flowy sections, good for building confidence and practising basic skills. The bike park is set up really well with a great cafe and a bike shop, plus hire available. Parking is a bit limited so park with consideration - don’t leave six feet between you and the next car!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
