Hillingdon Trail – Yeading Valley

Highlight • Trail

The entrance to a fine area for gravel and off-road riding (and running). As you cross over the water going towards Yeading, the expansive green space opens up in front of you. The tracks can be quite muddy if it's been wet recently, so then only attempt them with good off-road tyres. In the dry, however, most bike tyre are suitable.
