A local group of volunteers have built some Mtb tracks here. I wish I had more time to explore them - next time…. Any help gratefully received on track maintenance from the group

Staple Hill Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can’t go wrong for nice MTB tracks up here. Amazing views. Mostly stoney tracks so can be ridden in all weather. And part of the Herepath Loop

Tip by

Castle Neroche was a motte-and-bailey castle on the site of an earlier hill fort. Evidence suggests that it was an Iron Age hill fort before the Norman castle was built as the earth works are larger than most Norman castles.
Now it's a really fascinating place; the old earth works are covered in trees with amazing views between the trunks. Managed by Forestry England.
