Hawkcombe Head Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Rocky, twisting single track at the top gives way to fast grassy track that leads into the woods. Great views on the descent and lots of fun through the woods.

Halsecombe Plantation

Horner Wood is one of those places that becomes the essence of a place, once you've ridden it. Great views on fast trails which plunge into steep woodland; roots, rocks, trains in abundance. A terrific place.
