A great place to hear forest bird life, especially if you are cycling early or late in the day. Hawkshead Moor Trail ••• Grade: Forest road 17 km (10.5 miles), 2½ hours This trail covers a large part of the western side of the forest and gives wonderful panoramic views, both west towards Coniston Old Man and North towards Ambleside, the Langdale fells and Helvellyn beyond. Silurian Way ••• Grade: Forest road & part public road 23.5 km (14 miles), 3½ hours Many of the art works can be accessed along this trail, covering both sides of the Grizedale Valley and taking in contrasting forest habitats and wonderful views. Be prepared for the hills though! The North Face MTB Trail Grade: Red Difficult ••• Forest road sections Singletrack (one-way) 16 km (10 miles), 2½ hours Purpose-built MTB trail, offering adrenalising sections of singletrack descent and leg burning climbs. Be warned, there are plenty of challenging boardwalks. This trail is suitable for mountain bikers only and requires a high level of skill and fitness. The Black MTB Trail Grade: Black Severe Singletrack (one-way) 1 km (0.8 miles) An awesome blast of jumps and berms, with steep descents, not for the faint hearted. There is a split along this section, watch out for the signs and only do the double diamond run if an expert rider. Goosey Foot Tarn Trail ••• Grade: Forest road 3.5 km (2 miles), 30 mins The shortest of our waymarked cycle trails, but there are still small hills involved, so be warned! The trail takes you past Goosey Foot and Juniper Tarns, two of our 20 or so man-made tarns. Grizedale Tarn Trail ••• Grade: Forest road 10 km (6 miles), 1½ hours Watch out… Bogle means ghost! Discover lovely woodland views and find a variety of sculptures, including the iconic ‘Taking a Wall for a Walk’ by Andy Goldsworthy.
