Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

This is a very popular route for MTBers heading towards Deer Hill. It is better ridden east to west as the descent is a real bone shaker in the other direction.

Slaithwaite village and canal

Highlight • River

Apparently, it is the only village with a canal alongside the main street!
Commercial Hotel is recommended, located next to the main street (and canal) with a small sitting area …
