Hicks Lodge

(Average user rating5 unrated 4.3/5)
 

We’ve got the only traffic free cycling trails made just for beginners in The National Forest!

Run by the Forestry Commission in partnership with The National Forest, this former coal mining site has been totally transformed by planting a new woodland and creating exciting new trails for you to enjoy. From tearaway toddlers getting their first taste of cycling to young teens perfecting their skills or families walking the dog, we’ve got a great day out just waiting for you!

From the A42, take junction 12 towards Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Turn left after the golf course just before Ashby, then turn right on Willesley Woodside towards Moira. Look out for the entrance signs for Hicks Lodge.

What a great place! The blue trail is awesome, so much so that we had to do it twice! And the cafe deserves a mention as well...such attentive service and a free cake at the end of the day! We'll certainly be back....we'll be the 30 year old and the 4 year old whooping over the humps and berms!
