Superb new skills area goes live
With the opening of 'The Loop', Hamsterley now has arguably the best skills area of any mountain biking centre in the country. Give it a go, soon !

Mountain biking is a potentially hazardous activity carrying a significant risk. It should only be undertaken with a full understanding of all inherent risks. The guidelines at forest trailheads must always be used in conjunction with the benefit of your own experience, intuition and careful judgement.
