Claife Heights Trail

This trail between Sawrey and Belle Grange/High Wray is an absolute delight. It's not remotely technical, but it's utterly stunning. There are no huge mountains to take the breath away …

Claife Forest Entrance

Highlight • Forest

The gated area is the entrance to Claife Forest. The terrain becomes more rugged and rougher as you start to ride through Claife Forest. You are climbing but it is manageable
