Off Road Leisure Routes in Sherwood Forest
Source: Experience Nottinghamshire
East Midlands tourism agency Experience Nottinghamshire has just published new route guides for two 20 mile off road leisure rides in and around the vast natural playground of Sherwood Forest. The routes are designed as complete days out on a bike, largely off road and taking in numerous interesting sites along the way. If you're looking for somewhere to take the family out for a day on the bikes, then look no further. You can download PDF versions of the route map here by clicking the links below.
Adventure Pine Route
Approximately 20 miles long, the route is designed to take a day when incorporated with planned stop offs for refreshments, activities and enjoying local attractions. Aside from two road crossing points, the rest of the route is along well maintained off road tracks and bridleways.
The terrain is mostly flat and pathways are well maintained. You'll find the occasional hill which can be physically demanding but the reward is often a freewheeling slope at the other side.
The Adventure pine route starts at Sherwood Forest Art and Craft Centre. It takes you along the edge of Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve, past King's Clipstone and into Sherwood Pines returning on a circular route.
