Lee & Cragg

Fantastic moorland located trails which are uniquely challenging with lots of quarried rocks ensuring technical, chunky all year round trails.

Unfortunately no facilities and a 15 minute up hill warm up from the valley.

What do you like?

Unique

Technical

Rocky

Moorland setting

Both trails easily linked

Easy to encorporate either/ both trails into a longer day out on natural trails.

What could be improved?

No facilities 

Would you recommend?

Great place to ride

Good fun place to ride. Tough climb up if you are on a manual mtb but worth it at the top.  

Would you recommend?

yes

Lee Quarry red route

when we first arrived we werent sure where to park, there was the council building and some streets. we parked on the street near the start of the trail in the end. once we rode up the long access road climb we loved this place. followed the red climb up and up and enjoyed the various slabs and features on the way up, had to stop and peer over into the quarry a few times! the trail has fast berms, drops and rock gardens dotted about and it doesnt ever get boring or repetitive either. i can imagine that the more you ride here the easier it is to make up your own routes around. its like a giant playground for mountain bikers!

What do you like?

trails are fun and fast and technical a million different lines/runs dotted around the quarry all weather trail lovely views

What could be improved?

needs a proper trail head, start and finish on the side of the road it hurts when you crash! damn is it exposed up there

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
