About Grove Link Cycle Trail
The Grove Link trail is ideal for families looking for a traffic free ride along the Bedburn valley. Weaving its way along steep hillside, this trail gently ascends through a variety of beautiful woodlands, with majestic bridges carrying you over deep ravines. It is not suitable for toddlers or bikes fitted with two wheeled tag-alongs. If you are a more active rider it is an exciting alternative to the forest drive when accessing the wider forest or if following the Blue or Red cycle routes.
How to get there:
Grove Link Cycle Trail can be started from Hamsterley Forest Visitor Centre in Hamsterley. Hamsterley, Witton-le Wear, Wolsingham, Bishop Auckland, and Durham are the nearest towns or villages.
Turn right in Hamsterley village following the brown tourist signs, turn left in hamlet of Bedburn to enter the forest and access the forest drive and car parks (£3 toll fee).
