Review for Forest of Dean Mountain Biking Trails

Hummerlicious:

I rode the Verderer's Trail a couple of times last week, we were lucky because the weather was good and it was bone dry. It's an enjoyable trail to ride, although it is all about the climb to the final descent. That said there are some fun bits on the way up to break the monotony of the climb. The final couple of sections though are just totally grin inducing, especially the last bermed sections. So fast and smooth I had a wide grin on my face. After that we rode the Dowies trails nearby at Ellwood, you have to search them out, but you are treated to some really narrow smooth flowing singletrack, all totally natural, very enjoyable after the rock surfaces of the verderers.

Good facilities Decent cafe and shop well marked trails great final descent
