Welcome!

Over 8km of technical mountain bike trails have been completed in Lee Quarry, Bacup. In line with the philosophy of the Pennine Lancashire Adrenaline Gateway, the trails have been designed to help riders develop their skills and learn new ones. Hyndburn business Terra Firma constructed the first trails, which were designed by Daffyd Davis to deliver cutting edge routes. There are 5km of Red trails with technical sections that riders can opt into as they develop their riding. There are also over 2km of challenging Black Trails and a skills development area with easier trails and technical challenges. A second phase of trail design and build is underway, led by Rowan Sorell. The site includes a top standard Trials area which can host competitions and demonstration events.

The trails have been funded by Natural England through DEFRA's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, Lancashire County Developments Limited and the Lancashire Environmental Fund. The project would not have been possible without support from Rossendale Leisure Trust; Aggregate Industries; Lancashire County Council's Countryside Service and PEER Support.

 

The funding for the phase 2 trails, involving developments at another quarry and linking with the bridleway system has recently been applied for. Watch this space for further exciting news!

 

Use of the trails is free and they are always open. All we ask is that you respect other users, whether they're on Mountain Bikes or not!
