Hanchurch Woods

Staffordshire's mixed forest riding hub, centred on Birches Valley Forest Centre. Alongside the official Forestry England trails (Follow the Dog, Monkey Trail, Perry's, Stile Cop) there's a sprawling network of unofficial, rider-built singletrack, jumps and berms across Seven Springs & Sherbrook Valley, Tackeroo & Birches Valley, Springslade Lodge & Pye Green, and Monkey Trail & Stile Cop — the trails tracked on the status page below.
