There are a few classic Brecon Beacons loops, but none that really match this one for a big day out. This really is among the best rides in the country.…

Dunnerdale Fells, Lake District route
Flowing singletrack has never been a calling card of the Lake District, which is perhaps why this little loop has become such a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike.…
Blanchland Northumberland, Northern England route
This Blanchland route here is a mecca for soulful, moortop, mud-in-your-eye mountain biking that’s as good as anywhere in the world.
Doethie Valley, Wales route
Our Britain's best singletrack series heads to mid-Wales for a real wilderness experience
Ben Damph and Torridon, Scotland route
Ben Damph's 24km doesn’t sound much, but this is a tough route, with a big climb and a big descent. The days are really short here in winter.
Lake District Stake Pass, Northern England route
Stake Pass is brutal, intimidating, and downright hard, Stake Pass is also rewarding, fun to ride (when you’re not pushing) and achingly beautiful.
Crug Mawr, Wales route
This Crug Mawr route is all about the super-flowy, sandy, singletrack descent. Proof that you don’t need to go far over the Welsh border for amazing riding.
Applecross, Scotland route
Andy McKenna of Go-Where reaches parts of Scotland other guides can’t reach. We asked him for his favourite ride and he came up with this Applecross route.
North Harris, Scotland route
This one’s ‘out there’ even by Scottish standards, with this North Harris route making up some of the most westerly ground in Britain.
Cadair Idris, Wales route
This Cadair Idris route is a great mountain-top outing which for the majority of the ascent/descent isn’t too technical but does require some proper effort.
Houndkirk and Stanage, Northern England route
This Houndkirk and Stanage route takes you to some classic viewpoints, while avoiding too much mud, making this a great year-round route.
Exmoor Tarr Steps, South West England route
This Tarr Steps route contains a medieval stone North Shore section, with the story going that the Devil himself has sunbathing rights on the slabs.
Chilterns Grim’s Ditch, South East England route
This Grim’s Ditch route is probably no secret to the riders living in this part of the world, but it almost certainly will be to those from further afield.
South Downs Dentures, South East England route
The Dentures route circuit has plenty of high-speed action, though the drop from Glatting to Haughton is perhaps our favourite. Okay, definitely!
Eastridge and Stiperstones, Midlands route
What Sandy doesn’t know about riding in Shropshire probably isn’t worth knowing. This Eastridge Stiperstones route will take a good few hours!
Llangollen and The Berwyns, North Wales route
A relatively short Berwyns route contains some superb riding with three good technical descents on rocky terrain that allows it to be ridden in all weather.
Sarn Helen, North Wales route
Sarn Helen is not a mountain. It's not a forest. It's not a trail centre. Sarn Helen is a piece of ancient history. It's a ruin you can ride.
Shropshire Long Mynd, Midlands route
Here it is: arguably England's finest trail, for you to download completely free
Cardiff, Wales route
