Mountain bike trails have been created within the forestry and extend to the west.Temporary planning permission was previously granted for a temporary bike hire and repair service facility and toilets. The applicant sought to permanently formalize this setup with a permanent building housing a small café, bike repair/hire shop, showers and toilets.
