FODCA Trail
 

The Forest of Dean Cycling Association trail is graded RED on the CTC classification of cycle trails. Designed, built and maintained by the association members in partnership with the Forestry Commission, this challenging and varied singletrack can offer something to even the most demanding of riders, from tricky switchback climbs to rooty drops and hairpin bends. It is for experienced riders only and is suitable for off-road quality mountain bikes.

How to get there:

FODCA Trail can be started from Cannop Cycle Centre in Forest Of Dean. Coleford is the nearest town or village.

Take the B4226 Coleford - Cinderford road and at the crossroads with the B4234, turn north and follow the signs to the Cycle Centre.
