    Mountain biking

    The memorial honours all those who served in the 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats), the 4th Armoured Brigade (The Black Rats), and the 7th Armoured Brigade (The Green Jerboa) throughout history. The area also features a network of interconnected trails perfect for mountain biking, do watch out for walkers though.
