Features

  • The Colliers Trail: The Colliers Trail (previously known as The Family Cycle Trail) gently follows the Cannop Valley before climbing gradually through ancient oak (planted in Nelson’s time) and beech woodland to Drybrook Road Station. Want a break on the way around?  Visit our café at the beautiful Mallards Pike Lake for homemade breakfast, lunch or light snack and fantastic, locally roasted coffee. Its a beautiful, circular loop around the forest, best ridden in a clockwise direction, starting and finishing at the cyle centre.
  • Old Bob’s: Old Bob’s starts with a gentle, twisting climb up to the first of 3 skills areas found along the route. Each area is designed to help you learn the skills you will need for off-road riding, with berms, rollers, bridges, boardwalks and rock gardens. The trail is designed so you can either session these areas over and over again, or you can skip them completely and just lap the main trail as many times as you can!
  • Hire Fleet: We have a massive range of bikes for hire including e-bikes, leisure bikes, tandems, gravel bikes & mountain bikes for every ability & trail.  We also offer children’s bikes & accessories (including kids seats, tagalongs, trailers) to ensure the whole family can enjoy the forest together.  For less confident riders or those with mobility challenges, we can provide adult trikes on request.
