Review for Whinlatter Forest Park Mountain Bike Trail Centre

Rach:

Great variety of trails, and when you get to know the fire road sections you, if you are short of time you can really mix and match your favourite parts of the trails! The blue is great for skill development - the first trail I ever rode! It is also still great fun as an experienced rider when ridden at speed. South loop is easier than the North red loop, so if trying red for the first time I'd recommend doing South first. There is now only one fire road climb on the North loop, that takes less than ten minutes. The rest of the trail is a mix of slate, roots and mud. Technical areas appear amongst swoopy areas to keep you on your toes. It just ticks every box. The South loop has a new start section so you are only following fire road for two minutes - look out for the new sign taking you off to the right before it directs you left onto some new singletrack littered with technical features that connects you up to the beginning of the original singletrack climb. That trail was built by volunteers using the funds from the car parking!
