Great moorland road, ideal for riders of any ability as it is wide and generally flat (given its location). However, if you are more experienced there are some excellent sections that are a blast flat-out. It links up well with Longshaw to the east, and south onto White Edge and further onto Froggatt and Curbar Edge. It can also be a great way to head north towards Lady Cannings Plantation and down (using Jumble Road) to Blackamoor.

Linking Lady Cannings to Longshaw and Blacka, the fire road has some fun sections that can be sessioned or just used as a way to skip the busy roads.
