Embark on a challenging mountain biking adventure with the Beacon Hill Country Park, Swithland Woods, and Beaumanor Hall loop. This difficult 22.6-mile (36.3 km) route takes you through ancient woodlands and offers panoramic views from Beacon Hill summit, as well as picturesque vistas of Cropston Reservoir. Expect varied terrain, including loose gravel, slate, mud, and dirt trails, with some sections potentially requiring you to push your bike, all within an estimated duration of 2 hours and 41 minutes.

You can find beginner-friendly paths with minimal elevation, intermediate routes with climbs and descents, and even advanced challenges featuring steep drops and rocky sections.
