Built on the former route of the Great Central Railway, the Five Pits Trail is great for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. This 5.5 mile off-road surfaced route takes you from Grassmoor Country Park to Tibshelf Ponds. If you fancy being a little more adventurous you can extend the route by around 7.5 miles by exploring through Williamthorpe Ponds local nature reserve and Holmewood Woodlands.
The trail is great for cyclists of all abilities and if you want to try testing yourself then have a go on the adventurous cycling route. You’ll find it on the Williamthorpe Local Nature Reserve alongside the trail.
