The Dirt Directory: The ultimate guide to the UK's bike parks, trail centres and purpose-built mountain biking trails

The Dirt Directory is the only comprehensive guide to the purpose-built mountain biking trail centres and bike parks in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Written by Hannah Collingridge, it includes thousands of kilometres of singletrack, cross-country, downhill, freeride and bike park riding at over 130 dedicated MTB centres. Featured centres include established riding spots such as BikePark Wales, Glentress, Rostrevor and Dalby Forest, as well as volunteer-run centres such as the pioneering trails at Lady Canning's Plantation and Grenoside Woods near Sheffield and more recent venues such as Dyfi Bike Park, set up by the Athertons. Each riding spot features information on the number of trails and their length, style and difficulty; facilities such as parking, uplift, bike hire and shops and refreshments; and local information. There's also stunning action photography throughout the book. Keep The Dirt Directory in your car or van – it's your indispensable riding companion.
