About Green Cycle Route

A short ride mainly on the high plateau around Adderstone. Mixed terrain of forest roads and grass tracks, with a few short climbs and descents. It can be combined with the more demanding Blue Cycle Route for a 12 mile circuit.

 

How to get there:

Green Cycle Route can be started from Adderstone Field in Dalby Forest. Thornton-le-Dale is the nearest town or village.

Adderstone Field is approximately 5 miles along Dalby Forest Drive from Dalby Forest Visitor Centre and Shop.

The ride starts Adderstone Field which has excellent car parking. Myself, Wife and 4 children rode this route in the summer holidays last year. Great ride, safe and fairly easy going for the little ones. The route is about 50/50 chalk track and forest track.going into the forest on the tracks is beautiful.My younger two were 5 & 6 at the time and it was manageable for them. its relatively even ground with a few downhill sweeping sections to help you on the uphill. Its very do able for young children with a little help from mum and dad. We worth a go
