Apedale and Silverdale (5.49 miles 8.78 km ) Print
The tracks at Silverdale are a joy to ride and should be a model for public access to reclaimed industrial sites. Riders have their own dedicated track, clearly waymarked, right around the Park. This is either grass, mown in September 2019, or a hoof friendly gravel. There is a great uphill canter track too! For a talk round, print the waypoints.
