Useful Sites and Routes

The area is natural trail riding on a network of bridleways so there is no MTB trail-specific waymarking or grading. Hence we have incorporated some of the useful sites and routes out there we have come across to get you started. Some of the top spots are White Coppice, the San Marino descent, the Shooting hut descent, and the Two Lads descent.

Pedal North

This is a 12 km (7.3 mile) mtb route around Rivington Pike. Good for an evening blast or a day ride. The route is stone based and so is all weather and a safe bet most of the year. There are some neat descents with drop offs and ruts to dodge like Belmont Road as well as fast and sloppy descents like Wilderswood. Check it out here.

FlatTyres MTB

This Rivington mountain bike route is longer at 28km ( 17.5 miles) and goes through Rivington Country Park, including Rivington Pike. It also leaves the park and takes in the surrounding reservoirs in the valley as well as the Healey Nab MTB base. The trail has a few technical sections but is predominately moderate in ability for experienced riders. You can get turn by turn instructions and download maps and files here
