Got a few days in Forest of Dean soon, obviously a trip to the man made trails at Cannop is on the cards.Not sure we will touch 417 bike park.Can anyone suggest anything else good in the area xc or enduro stuff?

417 is currently closed due to the adjacent road works.

There's loads at FoD, the regular trails are good,.the blue is pretty well armoured, but sections of the  red are going to be sloppy this time of year.

The official DH trails are also getting a hammering at the moment but are still good fun. Loads of other trails in the area of your after enduro style stuff.

There's loads of choice away from the tourist routes around Cannop, spend a bit of time on trailforks or strava and you should be able to suss something, though there's no waymarked routes other than the ones mentioned above and you're probably better off with a guide to maximise riding and minimise faff. 

Drop me a message if you want someone to show you around - if it's a weekend ride I'm more than happy to.
