Charity Lane is an ancient, unimproved lane running across the top of Macclesfield Forest. It starts off wide open and smooth, and gets progressively rockier the further foes you get towards Chapel House Farm. In the winter it's a real snow trap, which can be a delight or a nightmare, depending on how warm your socks are.

Oven Lane Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Short extension to Charity Lane. A bit loose so don't take too tentatively.

Three Shires Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Spicy loop, good skills & a proper mountain bike required if you want to see the spectacular bridge at the bottom by bike

Cumberland Clough Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Please ignore Tino's comment on Cumberland Clough, he clearly does not know of what he speaks. Perfectly rideable on any decent xc bike with some off road experience. Yes it's rocky and not without challenge but it's mountain biking in the peak District.....what do you expect?
