It’s alright

The quarry itself is quite tame if you are serious rider there are only a few highlights and is mostly used by motorbikes.The trails have also been neglected lips have been destroyed and berms arnt that flowy however I go often only for the the jumps that have been redone at the start before the quarry as they are quite well built 

What could be improved?

Council needs to Redo the trails they have been neglected to long and left unmaintained 

Would you recommend?

yes

If you like tech Lee Quarry is a must visit.

So much variety to enjoy in Lee Quarry, and you could almost spend a day in there and do most of it only the once.

The more you ride around, the more you discover. There's some very easy bits, some very difficult bits, some sketchy bits and everything in between.

Trails with berms, jumps, drops and tech, plus some pump tracks for the younger kids.

What do you like?

Ride around all day and I guarantee you won't get bored.

What could be improved?

There's no cafe, or bike shop on site unfortunately. There's a nice little cafe in Stubby Lee Park just down the lane a bit, and there's a good bike shop (Ride On) on Bacup Rd in Rawtenstall, but it's a 10-15 minute pedal to get there.

Would you recommend?

yes
