The Trails
- Perimeter paths circle the old quarry, giving you a chance to orientate yourself before dropping in.
- A handful of short, unsanctioned downhill lines crisscross the quarry floor and banks, throwing up bomb holes, steep dips, tabletops, doubles and drops.
- The undulating ground is a legacy of collapsed mine workings beneath the woodland.
- Mature beech woodland means good visibility and reliably fast drainage, making Box Woods a solid wet-weather option when other local spots turn greasy.
