Farmer Johns MTB Park

Farmer Johns MTB Park (FJMTB) near Marple Bridge, Stockport in Greater Manchester runs five downhill tracks and a progressive dirt jump park, all on a working farm on the edge of the Peak District.

Run by Farmer John and his wife Jill, FJMTB is well known for its community atmosphere and social events. The farm sits on the edge of the Peak District with additional enduro riding available in the surrounding hills.

The Trails

• Main DH Track: The original downhill run, interspersed with North Shore, drops and rock gardens. The bottom woody section is tight and rooty.
• Night Race / Berm Track: A short, fast blast from the top of the main field. Famed for the night races held on it.
• Bridge / Hut Jump Line: Splits from the Main DH before the woods, passing over a North Shore drop and through the meadow via rock gardens. A bridge links back to the Main DH midway, then splits again to either the hut jump or the woods.
• Mega Steep Variant: Very steep. The name says it all.
• Root Death Variant: Very steep, extremely rooty and highly technical.
