Nice easy ride for all on a gravel path

Nice place to have a quick break

Located between Mansfield and Bolsover, this picturesque woodland is rapidly developing into one of the most attractive wildlife sites in the region. With its mixture of mature broadleaf woodland, newly planted trees, large open meadows and a scenic wetland valley, Shirebrook Wood offers something for everybody.

Brook Park is 37-hectare site that is home to specially recreated limestone grassland, providing a rich haven for diverse wildlife.

As a former pit top site, Shirebrook Wood has been reclaimed & redeveloped with large-scale planting of native shrubs and trees and the whole site has been totally landscaped, The Derbyshire side (West) has been turned into an Industrial Estate.

From Meden Trail to Shirebrook Wood this route requires you to manhandle your bike over two new metal stiles (and a few easy steps) either side of the line. Worth the effort in my view as it links some nice gravel riding.

A stones throw from the train station; A short ride from Mansfield Woodhouse. Shirebrook Wood is a number of gravel loops up through the woods, past the fishing ponds behind Sports Direct. It also connects to the Archeological Trail which takes you to Creswell and on to Clumber Park as well as Route 648 which takes you into Sherwood Forest
