SaveBeautiful play area of open land, old mine workings, easy riding tracks, narrow natural tracks & fun play areas. Away from the trails indicated here are many km of grassy double track linking every section. Great place to know as it is still ride-able even in poor weather and after heavy rain (only a few tracks get swampy - Toboggan Run & main track along the ridge). Access is a grey area as the common is not an open access area as such but the area has been ridden for many many years. A number of legal rights of way cross the area but these are not well marked. Be courteous to other users (walkers, dog walkers, horse riders, etc) i.e. slow down.
