Great loop through the forest all well maintained with some rocks and duckboards. Good for CX practice or a fun ride with the kids. Go to the reception/cafe from the car park and head off to the right past the cycle hire shop, then follow the through the forest arrows. There are maps and Bike hire available from the shop. Also the play area, trail walks and cafe can keep all the family entertained.

Excellent cycling and running location for all the family. From open fire roads to winding single track, Moors Valley offers everything to keep you entertained all day. Grownups can enjoy the bike park at Watchmoor (free parking there too!) before refilling at the parks excellent cafe.

Lovely place overall, but the visitor centre area can get very busy. We found the trails a bit tricky to locate at first—look out for the “dog wash area” and then the “bike hire” just after it; they’re good waypoints to find the trail access, which is to the right and slightly behind the visitor centre (when facing it from the car park). Also worth noting there’s free parking at Potterne Park, not far from the centre.
