There is no better feeling than being out on a bike.
Is there really a better way to escape from the real world, and experience all the hills and trails that mother nature has created?
This is what mountain biking can bring you. It has something to offer for everyone. From the endurance and technical skill required for cross-country, to the nerves of steel required for downhill racing, all the way through to a more relaxed ride with the family.
The bridleways, byways and other legal rights of way for cyclists extends to thousands of miles of accessible off-road routes. All of which provide the opportunity to experience an awesome day in the saddle. Mountain biking is diverse enough to offer a world of opportunities for anyone, regardless of your fitness and ability.
The more experienced and adventurous of you may head out with nothing more than your bike, and a map, for a full day of exploration. But for those of you that prefer the way-marked, graded routes, you may venture to one of the many mountain bike trail centres up and down the country that are perfect for that type of riding. Many trail centres are also based on forestry land, so along with plenty of parking you will also get with all the lovely amenities such as bike hire, bike wash, shops, cafes and maybe even changing facilities.
But why restrict yourself. With our guided mountain bike rides you can experience some of the best locations in the country for riding. You don’t even have to do any planning, we do all that for you, all you have to do is turn up, peddle, and enjoy the experience and awe inspiring scenery that mother nature can provide.
Experience. Explore. Adventure.
Some of our favourite places to ride and explore are in the wild and rugged countrysides of our very own National Parks. From the Peak District to the Lake District, through to Wales and the Pennine Moors. These are the areas we know the best because we spend most of our riding time here searching out new trails, and routes to take you all on.
If you know where to ride, the UK can provide you with some of the best locations for all forms of cycling, not just mountain biking.
Peak District
The Peak District is one of the must ride areas for mountain biking in the UK. From rocky bridleways through to fast, flowing singletrack. It’s hard to not find a route that isn’t challenging and fun. The valleys and hills of the Peaks provide a stunning backdrop to some of the best riding around.
Wales
Wales provides some of the most varied riding in the UK, and it also boasts some of the best trail centres you will find. The huge mountains and picturesque hills of the valleys offer up plenty of bridleways, flowing trails, brutal climbs and fast descents. Wales is simply an epic place to ride.

From the trail centres of Grizedale, and Whinlatter and some of the epic singletrack and bridleways on offer in the forests, through to the big all day true mountain rides such as Helvellyn and Skiddaw. There is something for everyone. Just be prepared for some hike-a-bike and spectacular views.
Pennine Moors
The many steep valleys, moorlands and rolling hills of the Pennine Moors can provide some truly epic and wild riding in the UK. Alongside all the picturesque old towns and villages, you will find a goldmine of rugged trails that can make for some awesome all year round bike adventures.
