What do you like?
Whilst there are only two official, maintained trails there are a multitude of bridleways to take advantage of if you know where to look, or wrangle a regular for a guided tour.
A good mix trails from all weather surface to natural mud fest, flat, flow and steel technical sections.
Small, but a good amount of gradients mean a couple of thousand feet climbing in 8 miles over an hour, and never too far away from the carpark.
Also a rather excellent group of people on a Thursday night for regular night rides if you have lights.
What could be improved?
No toilets or other facilities, but everyone poops before the leave the house, right?
Plenty of shops and garages on the way for for and drink, though
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

^Chris Brown:
Local woods
Chopwell is my local trails being from Consett and I ride there regularly. I think it's a great place to learn skills and gain confidence as nothing is too big or scary. Saying that I'm not the biggest fan of the power line and the new black route as they both are too flat to really throw down on a long travel bike.
I usually hit the power line as a warm up before venturing over to the other side of the woods near Lintzford. There's the big step up, steep trails with some pretty Gnar exposure and some rad little lines worth shredding.
The main complaint my riding group has is the lack of bigger tables and trail features but you can't have everything.
What do you like?
Close to home and within riding distance.
Mellow features which help build confidence.
Nice regular crowd
Free parking
What could be improved?
No facilities
Not too much variety in the signposted trails.
Expected a bit more downhill on a trail noted as black rating
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
