    According to the press release it’s in the Beecroft Plantation which is here http://binged.it/1aVOyvv. I’ve not been though so can’t be sure. I’d suggest there’s some access from the road the runs down past the wood to the embankment.

    If you park in Fewston / Swinsty res car park, head up the main road as if heading back to Timble cross roads (go past the two houses) you will come to a gravelled gate access after about 300m. Hop over the gate and take the entrance to the wood on the left after 10m or so.

    It was built by Yorkshire Water to help grow access. It’s packed full of features but basically has no flow and too much going on. Nothing steep. If you want proper downs go to Stainburn.

    Hate stainburn by the way, I find the natural stuff much much better than the purpose built trail, but it’s too boggy at the moment, so stay off it until spring, the built trails are just a pain to ride tbh !

    Yea, no flow, too much interference, hate it, best part about stainburn for me is trying to clear the climb back up after the downhill bit.
    Love the natural stuff over the road though….
    Each to their own I guess
