Beautiful but not great riding

Hard to find many trails without a local guide and even then the quality is really variable.  Shared with loads of walkers and their dogs so be polite!

Good points:

Lovely views and some interesting architecture.  Great if you are really local but only worth a trip to enjoy the location as a whole not just for MTB.  Great ice cream at the snack shop!

Bad points:

Trails are hard to find and a bit of a mixed bag, very crowded with walkers if the weather is even slightly nice.

Would you recommend?

no

nice spot

good if you're in the area, but not worth a special trip

Good points:

Not a trail centre, so have to pick your routes. I had the help of a local, however, and there's some very nice fun bits including some cool steps. 'Ice cream run' is good fun - basically a boulder-strewn bumpy downhill section.

Bad points:

Many of the fun bits are shared with walkers, so you have to be very careful to look out for people, especially young kids. Be courteous, otherwise they may ban mtb!

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
