Greno Woods is managed by Ride Sheffield who also manages Parkwoods Springs, Lady Canning's, and Bolehills BMX.

Greno Woods

  • There is one main loop which is made up of 3 maintained downhill trails all connected by fire-road climbs. The loop kicks off just across the road from the Woodhead Road Forestry Commission car park.
  • This loop consists of 2 red tracks known as Pub Run and Steel City (which has a Black opt-in) and one black called DH3 (big rollable jumps and a steep section). The whole loop is connected by a red bridleway.
  • The loop is 5.3km long in total consisting of the red at 3.7km and the black which is 1.7km long.

Wharncliffe Woods

  • Wharncliffe Woods are across the road from Greno Woods and are less maintained and not waymarked so best to hook up with a local. There are numerous downhill runs. The Downhill area is steep, rocky, and technical. Some of the famous runs are Vajazzle, Carling Tree, Jump Track, Varsity, Truffle Shuffle, Fast Track, Nemba, No Human, and The Dogs Bollocks.
  • There is an old 16km technical XC trail that is in a poor condition but on a dry day, you can put most bits of it together. To get to it you come right out of the back of the car park and the trail starts on your right. 

Other Stuff

  • Ride Sheffield trail advocacy group manage and run an active community for Greno Woods
  • Greno Woods is famous for events like the Steel City Downhill
  • Driving forces at Greno Woods are Ride Sheffield, Sheffield Wildlife Trust, Peaty’s Steel City DH, and of course Steve Peat himself.

Love riding here with plenty of lines and choice for the more technical rider. No facilities on site and help required from Strava to find the Warncliffe trails but so much fun

Wharny & Greno

Love this place and it's on my doorstep. Learned to ride here and due to it being black steep tech, it's set me up ready for other trails across the UK 🇬🇧 

What do you like?

Variety across all areas. Deepcar, Wharncouver & Old School

What could be improved?

The climbing, before I got an ebike. Other than that, all good.
