Details for Everley Loop Mountain Bike Route

The path through the trees joins another bridleway crossing from left to right. Turn left onto this, and start to descend along a narrow sunken lane through the trees. Eventually the slope will ease off and you will leave the trees before passing through a gate and onto a small track near a cottage. Turn left on the track, and carry on as the track turns into a road heading south. You will shortly arrive at Lowdales farm. The road here may be flooded in winter, if so take care as the road surface can be slippery underwater. If you don’t care for getting wet there is a footpath on the left side of the road. Carrying on along the valley you will eventually reach the village of Hackness and a bigger road with a large stone wall on the opposite side.

Turn left towards the church and head up the road with a small stream running along a gutter to the left. After a mile and a steep climb, you will arrive at a junction with a road to the right just before some farm buildings. Turn right down this minor road and carry on to Suffield Ings Farm. Then follow the bridleway as it crosses the lawn of the house before heading along the edge of the field to a wood. Descend through the wood to a gate, and then carry on descending to a gate near the corner of a coniferous wood. After the gate, ensure you follow the rough path which follows the fence line and stays more or less level, not the one which descends towards Mowthorpe Farm. Follow the BW along the fence line and cross several fields. Then descend past some houses and you will arrive at a road. Turn right on the road in and in a few hundred yards you will be back at the Everley Hotel.
