Cut Gate is a trail that links Slippery Stones and Mickleden Edge via wonderfully-wild moorland. Rough, rocky, rutty and testing even on full suspension, Cut Gate is pure MTB territory. If bike touring or gravel riding, you’ll be pushing and/or carrying for large sections in either direction – and it’s not easy pushing.

Don’t let that deter you necessarily, though. Cut Gate and the trail along Mickleden Edge is a great way to link Ladybower with the Trans Pennine Trail without large sections on road. I cycled/pushed/carried the entire section on a rigid bike loaded with bags and thought it was loads of fun (if tough going). Plus, the views are spectacular.

Fantastic place and great route for dual suspension. Not for Gravel bike with bike packing kit. Its a lot of pushing. This was OTT for me
