Whinlatter Forest Altura Trail South Loop Map

A pleasant climb leads to a midway option of a fun, flowing descent littered with berms and rolling jumps, or the continuation of the climb to the top of Hospital Fell Ridge. From here there are great views across the Northern Peaks of the Lake District and an even longer, fun-filled, fast-flowing descent down sweet singletrack.
