Brown Trail
 

This trail is an extension of the Yellow trail. Unsurfaced singletrack winds through the woodland. Expect steep uphills and fast downhills including jumps and small berms. This trail takes you some way from the car park, make sure you save some energy to get back!

How to get there:

Brown Trail can be started from Eastridge Car Park in Eastridge which is part of The Marches. Minsterley is the nearest town or village.

From Shrewsbury take the A488 to Minsterley. In Minsterley turn left onto Callow lane sign posted to Habberly. Continue to the T junction and turn right, bear right when the road forks and take the first turning on the right up a narrow lane.
