Hopton Woods mountain bike base is based in Hopton Wood, near Castle Hopton in Shropshire in England. There is a short warm up loop, a 4km blue, a 12.6km red trail and a set of three downhill trails (with an established Downhill community). There are limited facilities so please come prepared. 

Long Mynd mountain bike trails are set in the Shropshire hills, 10 miles south of Shrewsbury in England. There are 22 square kilometers of heathland terrain made up of a series of hills with steep gullies. The area is owned and cared for by the National Trust and has over 500 metres of height in altitude. Also it's close to Hopton Woods XC and Downhill trails and really not far from Wales so it is in good pedigree company and has a pretty decent reputation itself. You may have heard of the Minton Batch descent which is quite famous as an awesome grin producing down. There are MTB trails here for all abilities.
