Has anyone on here extensively travelled the UK for riding spots and found one that was better than the rest?

I live in Surrey and have ridden around Leith/Pitch hill a lot and like it there, but can't help but feel it's a little tame/small compared to what else is to offer around the UK.

I've heard that Cwmcarn is excellent and also the Lake District?

Hebden Bridge/Todmorden. Great riding, lovely Northern locals, good value property, great riding. Alas, very few job opportunites for most.

Happy where i am, been riding local trails for 20+ years and still find new places that keep my interests going

north wales/lakes/scotland i would say for the uk......i have slung a leg over a bike in canada though, and was somewhat spoiled to do it all in short sleeves over there...... :roll:

Mid Wales gets my vote... I used to live there and had the Elan Valley on my doorstep, as well as the Epynt Range near Builth Wells, not to mention the Brecon Beacons just a few miles away. Hundreds and hundreds of miles of natural trails and all within a maximum of 30 minutes away either by bike or car.

Anyone who's done the CRC/Merida Enduros in Builth will know how good some of the trails are

Wish I still lived there

I reckon city wise Sheffield is hard to beat- half of its in the Peak District!

Happy enough in Skipton as we have loads of great local riding + Wales/Scotland/Lakes etc are not too far away and can be done in a day

I have to agree with Brocklanders being only 7 miles from him

but if I had the money etc I would love to live in the Lakes
