Lee Quarry Explained

Lee Quarry is a mountain bike trail located near Bacup and Stacksteads in Rossendale Valley, Lancashire.[1] Originally a working quarry, the quarry alongside its neighbour Cragg Quarry have been transformed. The trail was set up by Lancashire County Council and is free to use.

Routes

There are two main routes around the quarry known as the 'Red' and 'Black' routes, which are for less and more experienced cyclists respectively.[2] The red route is around 7km (04miles) long and the black route is 1km (01miles).[3] The 'Pump Tracks' are generally used as a practice loop before attempting the main routes.[4] Nearby Cragg Quarry is reached by a newly constructed bridleway link over Brandwood Lower end moor.
