Mountain biking

You can join the blue-rated MTB trail in Leigh Woods from here, just next to the car park. This loop is named Yer Tiz and you'll also find some more challenging red-rated alternative sections along the way too. It's pretty rocky for the most part but not too muddy, although you will find plenty of puddles in the winter so waterproof socks are a good idea if you have them!

The trail crosses walking routes and fire roads often, so be aware of families and dogs also enjoying the beautiful Leigh Woods nature reserve.

Nothing crazy, suits a rigid bike to keep things interesting. Obviously if you come a little more equipped then you can probably make the most of the jumps, red loops and features.

Some of the drops in the later sections and some of the climbing can be challenging for a beginner but there's nothing here to really sweat about.
