Lee Quarry Mountain Bike Trail
Over the past few years an exciting new breed of mountain bike trail centre has been developing in East Lancashire. Two disused quarries in the hills above Bacup, Rossendale have been turned in to a paradise for mountain bikers.

The trails are constantly being developed and there is now a network of red and black graded cross country trails in both Lee and Cragg Quarries.

Lee Quarry boasts around 8km of tough technical mountain bike trails comprising rock gardens, drop offs, tabletop jumps, challenging climbs and apparently, some of the biggest berms you will find in the UK. It also has a very popular pump track and four purpose built cycle trials areas. The trails have been designed to help riders develop their skills and learn new ones, these really are cutting edge routes.
