Great riding here. But what a pity they call it "Stainburn"! Been known to us locals as Norwood Edge ever since I remember. Stainburn is actually a few miles away, and the so-called "Stainburn forest " is locally known as "Lindley Moor". We get bikers turning up at Leathley on Stainburn lane asking for directions and I have to point them in the opposite direction.

From here you can head down the two red trails. Go straight for the descent line or take the left for a shorter red trail to the car park, it has berms/jumps, and being stainburn a few rocky technical features too.

A challenging black trail. Narrow single track, rock gardens, rocky rollers, even the berms have rocks. Some steep climbs, descents and technical obstacles and north shore sections needing a high skill level. Stainburn is a place to test your skills, don't expect to fly down.

One of the more technical trails in the area. If you want a test get out and try the full black loop. Think continuous rock garden.
