The original trail in the "Herb Garden" this great little singletrack is perfect for introducing riders to what the natural trails at Erracht are about. Short but immensely fun it challenges both at the entrance as riders negotiate tighter corners between the trees and at the end where the tree roots will test riders as they exit the trail.

If you think you're up to the challenge can you ride back up Wild Sorrell?

This trail is unsanctioned.
