Hidden gems

Some decent trails, much better in the summer though and takes a while to dry

What do you like?

Some great hidden trails in the forest, local knowledge is helpful but fun to find them yourself, the fire roads means it’s easy to find your way around. Good cafe at the main visitors centre but other car parks get you into the forest just as well. Some stunning views to be had too.

What could be improved?

It’s particularly muddy through the winter months and does take a while to dry.

Would you recommend?

yes

The magnificent Wye

The summer is the only time to ride this place!!!!

What do you like?

This is one of the best trail riding territories there is but you certainly need to have a local guide to find it all! Lots of technical stuff, lots of interesting climbs and the downhill sections are incredible. Single track with lots of rooty, rocky and natural hazards of all sorts with plenty of fast, undulating and exhilarating downs!!!!

What could be improved?

You really have to know where you are going to make the most of it but from a local’s perspective, we’re all glad that the masses go along to Cannock so we can keep these fabulous trails to ourselves!

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Wyre whoooooo??

A good place for locals but not worth travelling, have a go, but in summertime as its quite muddy.

What do you like?

had a few "iffy" hold on to your ants sections but other than that very tame and not meant for the enthusiast, more of a family trail and the odd off piste, maybe a local could show more buy sadly this wasn't for me, nice stream running via the middle eeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrr the pub opposite?? FOD has a lot more to offer, a few years of developing are required here!

What could be improved?

MUD, MUD, MUD and er MUD, lol, you have to be prepared to get down and dirty here, not very good sign posts for trails and a bit mis-mashed, not for me I am afraid!! there are a few good bits and perhaps in the summer it would be ok, but in the middle of Sept we are hardly in winter, there are a few surprises but don't be expecting Cannock Chase or the FOD here :-(

Would you recommend?

*No*
