Are there some trails in Broughton Hall? When I did tough mudder there, I swore I saw some berms in the woods.

Not that I know of. Some good rides out from Broughton or Skipton though.

Roger Tempest (estate owner) last year built a small MTB trail in one of the woods behind the hall.

An easy 1 mile loop with a few rollers and berms. Not sure I'd travel there to go on it. As I work in one of the offices on the estate I've done a few laps on it.

Velofest at Kilnsey is better placed to reach the climb at Buckden, and a nicer location within walking distance of the (heaving) pub. Might be even more expensive than the Rapha one though (never thought I'd use that phrase).
