Whinlatter Forrest
Whinlatter is England’s only true mountain forest and is home to stunning views, fantastic walks, exhilarating mountain biking, rare wildlife and adventure play.
Nearby you’ll also find several Osprey view points where you can watch these magnificent birds of prey swooping into the lake to catch fish www.ospreywatch.co.uk/wordpress/
There’s so much to do and see here and the Altura mountain bike trail has been built for experienced riders with good off road skills and a higher level of fitness and stamina. They claim it ‘puts the mountain back into biking!’ The trail is a 19 kilometre red grade mountain bike route which includes 15 kilometres of single track.
The Quercus Trail is a blue grade route and is 7.5km long with a shorter 3.5 km option. It is a gem waiting to be discovered, expect flowing single track with gentle berms, rolling jumps, wide gradual climbs with technical features for the adventurous riders.
