^Knackered biker :
Surprisingly good!
Really surprised to find some great trails at rother valley. Black route is good for jumps, red routes both solid technical trails. Went not expecting much so was happy to find well built trails. Will be going back.
What do you like?
Well built and maintained trails, good mix. Impressive that someone has taken time to highlight hidden rocks / roots with paint. Easily lost amongst leaf litter so a life saver in autumn.
What could be improved?
Can't fault it

Alright
I have only rode the red routes and several paths round the lakes so I cannot speak for the black route however from what I've seen it looks excellent which gives me hope that one day the others will be as good.
What do you like?
When it has been sunny for a while the actual trails are alright and worth the climbs.
Loads of potential so the people who build the trails keep it up and you will have some very good trails.

What could be improved?
Turns into a mud bath with the tiniest bit of rain.
Very little actual trail.
Could be better marked out.
Only worth riding if you live nearby like myself.

I love the enthusiasm of the rangers at Rother Valley. By the amount of work they do on the varied trails, they obviously care about their jobs and are bikers at heart.
It's easily accessible by road, or even better, just off the Trans Pennine Trail. There's plenty of parking, free if you don't mind a bit of faff and paid for if you prefer to be right inside the park.
They have organised training to help younger riders develop their skills (very reasonably priced) and are starting to run organised rides.
What could be improved?
The wind off the lake slows me down!
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

There's loads here to choose from, family friendly blue and green routes (that are fun if you want a nice leisurely ride) red and black routes for more extreme riding and plenty of unofficial trails that criss cross the site. Most of the trails get really muddy and difficult to ride after rain.
There's good but expensive car parking. However there's free road-side parking in an industrial estate to the west of rother valley.
This place gets incredibly busy when the weather is nice so if you like your peace it'd be best to stear ckear
What do you like?
Plenty of trails
Loads of parking
Excellent facilities
What could be improved?
Trails don't stand up to weather very well
Really busy at times
Expensive to use the official car park
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
