Notts MTB adventure – Scenic Views and Historic Landmarks

🚵‍♂️Join me on an epic Nottinghamshire mountain bike adventure through Bunny Woods, West Leake Hills, and Gotham Hills! This ride isn’t just about trails — it’s a journey through history. We pass through an ancient woodland and a Neolithic burial mound, the Cuckoo Bush, and sites tied to Gotham legends, with a stop at the area where Henry VII camped before the Battle of East Stoke.
Ride flowing singletrack, rolling hills, and old railway lines while soaking in stunning countryside views. Perfect for local MTB riders and enthusiasts from across the UK looking for a mix of adventure, nature, and history.
