호튼 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

a short sharp climb up over the top and a pleasant run down the other side towards leek

Next time I do this route I'll ayah on Biddulph valley way, as that's a nicer ride and avoids these steps

Part of the Leek Branch of the Caldon Canal the pool allows boats to turn around before the tunnel. The Churnet Way long distance walking trail and NCN 559 follow the canal towpath past the pool.

Well maintained and very smooth path. Must be great to ride in winter

Mixed surfaces around here

Definitely recommend walking this short section in both directions, up and down

A very nice walk/ride down a towpath

Steep ascent going up to circa 20 deg but highly recommended to keep your fitness up 😁

Continuation of the Biddulph Valley Way

Suitable for all bikes

A great ride on the route of the old railway, suitable for all

The track is quite bumpy in places due to ingrown tree roots

This brook has clay/ orange discharge due to high mineral content like iron oxide.

Nice tree-lined trail for MTB and Gravel riding. Can be busy with walkers, runners and dogs so take a bell and use it.

Cloudside might sound like a lovely name for a road, but it's a tough little berg from either side! Not the longest or steepest in the area but you'll know about it. Great views and a good surface though.

The main canal path is really well surfaced however this section over the tunnel has a number of steep steps and pointless gates and obstacles, while there is a path to avoid the steps all of the gates are locked so you’ll still have to struggle with the bike

Needs some serious upgrading to make this properly accessible to most riders

An excellent traffic free route, with only a couple of roads to cross.

Tow path heaven all the way
