Getting Here

Location

Sat-nav Postcode: WS15 1ND (This is not a precise location but it will get you to the right road).

  1. From the A460 turn onto Stile Cop Road following the sign to the Cemetery.
  2. Pass the Cemetery on the left and head up the road.
  3. As you reach the top of the hill there is a layby to the right which accesses a fire road, this fire road leads to the trails.
  4. To park carry on up the road and look for the gravel car park on the left.
  5. Park here and ride back down to the fire road.

Search for “Stile Cop Car Park” and “Stile Cop Bike Park” on Google Maps for exact locations.

Please do not block the barrier in the first layby.
