周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ20

I went on this 15/5/2025 give it another week and it won't be any fun on a bike unless you ride a horse.

Good foot paths around Linacre , very wet and muddy once you leave them . Good waterproof boots and gaiters recommend .

There are three beautiful reservoirs at Linacre, aptly named Lower, Middle, and Upper, going from east to west. The reservoirs are surrounded by fields and woodland with a network of trails and footpaths. The woods are beautiful and include oak, beech, alder, larch, and pine, and in the springtime they are carpeted with bluebells. It is a scenic area, and there is a public car park on the northern edge of the woods of the Lower Reservoir.

Not great to walk around unless you want to walk on the road a lot. There is no direct access to the reservoir because it is a conservation site. The car park is free and there are benches to sit on to watch the birds. Ognaston Bird Club conducts a guided bird walk on the first Saturday of each month and everyone is welcome. With them, you can access the reservoir surrounding areas to watch birds. If you want great views of the reservoir however you can combine a visit with a footpath walk up from the reservoir through fields and these are quite well signposted and accessible except from a slim squeeze with a holly hedge on one side and part of a footpath which is quite nettly - but will probably be okay by Autumn.

Mellor Lane, nice descent to Sud Brook from Barlow, fun in winter not so much in Summer when it gets badly overgrown. You may be lucky, now and again it's cut back.

Little wooded area, flat and not technical in anyway but nice to ride through and more importantly a (at least in the summer of 2023) FREE car park

As everyone else says, great run in the dry nothing too technical apart from just before the ford at the bottom. Quite overgrown in places in summer.

Few road crossings along the route, take precaution.
