Eastridge Mountain Bike Trail Centre

[1][2] The venue is developed and maintained by volunteers,[3] and features a mixture of blue, red and black graded trails.

[6][7][8][9] Eastridge Wood is located in the Shropshire Hills, between the Villages of Habberley, Minsterley and Snailbeach, it lies east of the quartzite ridge known as the Stiperstones.

[10] The Rocky outcrop that forms Eastridge is known as the Habberly Formation and is thought to correlate with the Hunnebergian Stage of Scandinavia.

[16] Eastrige fell out of favor as a downhill venue due to longer and steeper courses being built in other parts of the UK.

[4] This 8 kilometer loop is graded Red for difficult and covers many of the venue's most popular descents including; Son and Daughter, Big Log and Topography.

[4][23][24][25][26] In 2006 the BUSA National Student Downhill Mountain biking championships were held at Eastridge after the venue was changed from Moelfre days before the event was due to take place.
