Minton Batch is alleged to be one of the great descents in England, and it's not hard to see why. Gorgeous, fast flowing singletrack, with an occasional smattering of rocks.

There are even natural catch berms here and there on some of the sharper corners. It's not particularly technical (unless you wade into one of the aforementioned rocky areas a bit too hot), but it's undeniably fantastic. A slice of old-school fabulousness. The descent, as ever, is popular with walkers, so do take care!

One of the best natural singletracks around. Not hard to ride, but things rapidly heat up when you let the brakes off and hit the pedals!
