Saddleworth MTB Trails

Saddleworth has a bit of everything really. All the bridleways between Denshaw and Hebden Bridge and across to Marsden are good for XC riding. Also Calderdale (Todmorden,) and Rossendale (Rawtenstall and Bacup) are also very good. Overall there is no shortage of hills and descents. The terrain is mostly open moorland and the views stunning.
Nice easier riding also abounds around all the reservoirs. Dovestone Reservoir is ideal for families and young people who are new to mountain biking.

This 17 km circular mountain bike route, offers a gentle ride from Diggle to Greenfield railway station, before embarking on the thrilling hillier terrain around Saddleworths' historic villages.

This 11km route follows parts of the ‘Delph Donkey’ trail and Pennine Bridleway.

This 11 km trail steps it up a gear. Head out along the Pennine Bridleway from Castleshaw across Saddleworth Moor to Denshaw and then onto Crompton Moor where the network of bridleways and purpose-built green trail and pump track riding test your skills.
