05 GISBURN P24
Gisburn lies in the Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so you’re guaranteed some amazing scenery as you enjoy the trails. There’s an easy blue route and a slightly harder and longer red XC route, neither of which will leave you feeling disappointed. Both start from the Gisburn Forest Hub car park, where you’ll also find a cafe and skills loop. Further into the forest there are two downhill trails with berms, jumps and drop-o s. If you fancy challenging yourself, why not take on the Forestry Commission’s Super Six challenge? This involves riding the six most northerly English trail centres – Kielder, Chopwell, Whinlatter, Hamsterley, Grizedale and Gisburn.
