Well for quickest to get to it’s got to be Mortimer Forest.
For simplicity I’d go for a quick blast up the main road to Richards Castle, turn left at the pub, then left again at the church, up onto the common, head up into the top corner (to the right of the big house & farm), then you’ll be in Mortimer forest. Follow that trail until you come out on the fire track, straight over, then you’ll come out on the very top by the old fire tower. After that go straight on downhill, down a rough track, take the second small trail on the left, it’s a bit nadgery, hard to spot, like a small gap in the trees, when that spits you out on another track go almost straight over (quite a drop in) then through that section (quite rough also) you’ll come out on a fire track again, turn right, then if you go left into a grassy opening a few hundred yards later you’ll a find a few short trails that head downhill. Eventually you’ll come out on another fire track. The opposite side of this is the ‘skill track’, you may have to go up or down the fire track to find the start depending which trail you come down prior to this, but this then follows the brook all the way along the bottom of the valley. It appears to finish where a track crosses it but it does start again the other side. At the end of that you’ll be below the car park, near to Moor Park School, from there you can either road it back or I’d probably go up to the car park and find some singletrack along the way and go back through the forest. There’s a track that runs above the car park basically parallel to the main road and all sorts off it.
It’s littered with trails in there, worth a look on Strava.
