View of Linacre Valley from Dennis's Lane

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dennis's Lane. Rocky & loose in places, proper MTB segment, part of the Linacre Classic loop, can be ridden either way as the peak is in the middle (ish).

Lumsdale Waterfall

Highlight • Natural Monument

Ancient monument consisting of a cascade of industrial mill ruins. This is a lovely spot to stop and take a look around. Some mega waterfalls and ruins to check out.

Tip by

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quarry Downhill Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

A few walkers around but great fun to open and up and blast through.

Abraham's Lane Stone Path and River Crossing

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Descent down to the river, two top tips here:
