The route can be kept short and take cyclists straight to Dimmingsdale. This shorter route, being completely traffic once on the greenway in the village, is perfect for families with young children.
It's a magical place set in a deep wooded valley originally designed by the Earl of Shrewsbury and now managed by the Forestry Commission. Cycle off route around the lakes while you are here, keep a look out for Herons, Kingfisher and both spotted and green woodpeckers.
