Explore The Mersey Forest by Bike

For cyclists, the Mersey Forest is just right, offering flat terrain for those after a leisurely jaunt and steeper inclines for the more adventurous. Cycle along quiet, tree-lined lanes through gentle countryside and sleepy villages. There's always plenty to see along the way and places to stop for some well earned refreshment!

If you enjoy a challenge, why not pit yourself against the Trans Pennine Trail, a 344km (213 mile) coast to coast route part of which runs through The Mersey Forest region. The Trail can be cycled in sections, giving you time to take in the scenery, or stop off at some of the many rural attractions along the way.
