Slaley Forest 최고의 라이딩 경로

Eerie sight but beautiful.

Overlooking Derwent Reservoir, Slaley Forest is home to a selection of forest roads which give you access to the forest. Open all year, the forest is a great location for a leisurely woodland walk or bike ride.

Rookhope is really interesting- but slowly dying. The arch is almost emblematic of that.

Great views from the moorland road that runs from Rookhope in the south to Blanchland in the north. The high point of the road is at 508m.

The road heading up onto Redburn Common from Allenheads (430m) in the west climbs through a steep hairpin bend and several shallower corners to reach an altitude of 533m. The descent down the otherside to Rookhope at just over 300m is more gradual and fun to ride. Also good the other way with a longer steady climb and then a steep descent down to Allenheads, watch out for the tight corners and cattle grid on the descent if riding in this direction.

About a 30m section of cobbles is being replaced in front of the market square on Front Street. The council have used a couple of different patterns for a trial period and now they are resurfacing and replacing the cobbles more permanently. This work was finished in late 2021 so you can now ride the section.

Great little bakery bistro. Fresh home cooked quiches, beautiful 3 egg omelettes and many other choices

Good coffee and cake available!
