Review for Hicks Lodge Mountain Bike Trails

phil newall:

We love hicks lodge, especially as its only 10 minutes away. Whether its a nice family afternoon with our two children (5 & 10 years) on the family trail and around the lake or a late night riding session on a Thursday night when the cafes open till 8. The Shell brook trail is ideal to get into mountain biking and my son loves it. I wouldn't recommend tag alongs, small children or non mountain bikes on it as some sections would be difficult. The scenery and woodlands are great and maturing all the time and as has been said you have to try the cakes out after a hard ride, it would be rude not to...... Thursday nights are great,a completely different experience doing the trail at night, dont worry as theres always lots of people on the trail with you..

single track Shell brook trail, decent length family trail and a good playground for the kids while you have a proper cup of tea or coffee Very family friendly fab café Good clean facilities (toilets etc)
