Green Cycle Trail
 

This trail starts along the forest drive, then turns left after the play park and crosses the river before climbing a short fairly steep hill. After this the trail undulates mainly on forest roads and wide tracks, with a short section of single track, just before returning to the visitor centre. The surface is fairly smooth but there can be some loose stones in places.
