Gisburn Forest

Lancashire, North West England, England

About the riding

Gisburn mixes classic forest-loop riding with a compact gravity area. Bottoms Beck is a blue route for developing riders, while The 8 combines red singletrack with optional black features, technical rocks and the roller-coaster Hully Gully section. Hope Line and Leap of Faith are orange bike-park trails with berms, jumps and drop-offs for expert riders. Expect sustained climbing, natural-feeling woodland trail and surfaces that can become rough or muddy. Parking and toilets are at the hub, with refreshments and limited seasonal campervan provision.
