Colliers Trail, Forest of Dean

Highlight • Forest

A quite stunning trail for all abilities and contraptions. The trail is excellently maintained, with lots of little off-cuts for skills testing. Perfect for little ones to have a protected, traffic-free bimble through the Forest.

For those with big-league MTB abilities, the Cannop Cycling Centres offers a bewildering variety of downhill and mountain bike trails. Plus a shop and café for relaxing at afterwards. Just bring your body protectors! 😊

Final Descent on Verderers Trail (Blue)

Highlight • MTB Park

A brilliant final descent on the blue route, and probably the one you've been waiting for!

With some rollers, big 180 degree berms and corking views, this fast and fantastic descent is a real treat.
