Lots of riding with some great trails but can get busy at times with riders and other users.

nice spot
good if you're in the area, but not worth a special trip
Good points:
Not a trail centre, so have to pick your routes. I had the help of a local, however, and there's some very nice fun bits including some cool steps. 'Ice cream run' is good fun - basically a boulder-strewn bumpy downhill section.
Bad points:
Many of the fun bits are shared with walkers, so you have to be very careful to look out for people, especially young kids. Be courteous, otherwise they may ban mtb!
Would you recommend?

Rivington - Natural Fun
"The Pike" is good fun, good views and lots of trails. I dont know them all but "San Marino" and "Ice Cream Run" are the 2 descents people most like. Often the ride can be linked over to Healey Nab which in itself is a bit small.
You need a guide, or a map - or just look on strava find some fast people and look at the loops they use and plug them into your GPS.
Keep off the footpaths - this is a delicate area for MTBing so stay legal and keep it friendly so the locals don't suffer. Especially keep of the very tempting footpaths in the historic gardens.
Good points:
Some great descents
Bad points:
Can be busy with walkers - be respectful, share the trail stick to the bridleways.
