새퍼턴 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Can get very technical and slippery after rain, much leaf cover but stones under mud can help

lovely cycle and a little treat at @henrys coffee shop to finish

Pub that sells TT landlord and Mars bars 👌

Approached from the fields you come across a gorgeous entrance. Take a seat on the bench in the church and look at the beautifully sculpted Yew bushes. Keep an eye out over the fields for deer!

Super fun descent running down an ancient track lined with beech trees. Although often full of leaves there is loose beneath providing some traction. The bottom of the track is almost always wet with a small stream running down it.

As you emerge from the woods you gain panoramic views of the fields and Slad Valley below which forms one of five valleys surrounding the town of Stroud. These valley views are what the five valleys are famous for, and popularised in Lauri Lee's 'Cider with Rosie'

A stunning bit of trail, especially when dry in the summer. Gets a bit boggy after prolonged rain. A perfect way to mix up a ride and connect some great roads!

The bridleway is called Steps Lane and runs through the Gatcombe Estate. The steep bit of the climb at the bottom is mainly tarmac and then 50m of steep rough stuff then fairly flat. The track going up leads towards Minchinhampton Common which has some excellent riding.
