Been to Sutton park now 3 times and I think I'm very lucky to have it on my doorstep.

Just wondering if anyone follows a certain route that can share it with me?
Cheers

😀

Try looking at strava segment search. I have rode the alpine resort of Sutton park many times and found bits and bobs of trails but nothing too thrilling but it's OK to kill an hour or two.

It's nice to have on the doorstep but apart from some drops into the old quarry and a couple of jump spots there is nothing too technical though...

Have a look at google earth and you may be able to spot some decent trails that link between: -

Hartop Gate and Banners Gate via Streetly Gate
Banners Gate to Wyndley Gate
Town Gate to Hartop Gate

Try also to look for trails which route around the pools. You will see the ends of some of the more interesting trails near the pools.

You can also link with a minimum amount of road to the cycle route which goes towards Pype Hayes Park. Flat, smooth and with dog walkers but it does add a few miles to a route.
