Location:
Hamsterley Forest is a Forestry Commission Forest with 2000 hectares of mixed woodland lying between the Wear and Tees valleys on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Riding:
The forest boast some of the best riding in the region with a mixture of gentle trails and exciting single track which will stretch the best of Muni riders. There is also a MTB training loop which is VERY entertaining.
How to get there:
Hamsterley is easily accessible by car and is sign posted from the A68.
If you’re travelling by train, the closest station is Darlington.
For those flying in, either Newcastle or Durham Tees airport would be the best option.
There is also a ferry route which runs from Amsterdam to Newcastle. The port is 44 miles from Hamsterley forest.
