1. Cannop Cycle Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 123 reviews
Cannop Cycle Centre is the starting point for the Forest of Dean Family Cycle Trail which consists of eleven miles of waymarked, surfaced tracks. Two singletrack trails have been designed for cyclists looking for a more adventurous ride. The 7.4 mile red grade (difficult) Freeminer Trail and the 7 mile blue grade (moderate) Verderers' Trail. For experienced riders only, there are a number of 'downhill' trails and an uplift service available. A pump track and advanced skills area has been built which can be used as a coaching area / taster area to mountain biking. A pump track is a short circular loop where the rider will go up and down over a series of humps. This propels the rider around using the momentum created by the down slopes without pedalling. As well as this, a couple of short downhill training lines with technical trail features has also been built on the advanced skills area so riders can gradually progress and build up the confidence.

Cycle Hire close to Family Cycle Trail
Reviewed By fothergills - Uckfield, United Kingdom
We hired cycles for the day and leisurely paced around the 12 mile family track at mallards pike. The bikes were great quality with options to hire helmets and puncture repair kits as they are unable to retrieve you if you break down part way round. Covid Measures in place were fantastic. Booking request was completed online and time slots allocated for collection. Parking was in the overflow car park approx 5 mins walk away. The only glitch we had was finding where to get off the cycle path to go back to dean forest cycle centre. Great family fun and not too strenuous!!
