Clayton Vale MTB Trails are based in Clayton Vale Local Nature Reserve and form part of the overall cycling facilities on offer at the National Cycling Centre, in East Manchester. They offer something uniquely different in that this is approximately 10.5km of MTB trails in an urban setting yet they also offer trails and skills development for all ability levels which is generally only found further out in rural trail bases and centres. In addition one of the trails is specifically designed for disabled people (both a UK and World MTB first). The trails have unrestricted free access all year round. The new trails (which launch on the 27th May) add to the already popular and established Bike Park skills zone which has a pump track and varying graded tracks of technical difficulty.

 

Worth noting that The National Cycling Centre itself acts as the trail head with decent facilities. It is also the home of the Olympic velodrome and the currently under development £24 million 2000 seater national BMX track. A true national cycling centre that we reckon will become a treasured national institution to be proud of.
