Looking for some good forests with trails to go out on the MTB on, there's a lot of mountains near me in the peaks etc but I really fancy some forest riding.

Places I have been near me:

New Miller Dam (find this too small and short but it's ok I guess)
Sherwood Forest (not exactly close but really enjoyed the trails here, a bit easy but still good fun)

Other places I have been for general riding:

Grenno + Warny
Derwent Dam
Park Springs
Lady Cannings


Any recommendations would be great but like i say, prefer forests :)
 
Not something I'm overly familiar with but from the sounds of it you want something like Kielder which is a fair trek from you. We did a bit of something along those lines near Grassington as well but that was like 1992 or something so I forget the details.

EDIT: Looks like my memory is a bit off - what I think was the trail near Grassington only has a short section of wood/forest (Nidderdale) and the rest is open country.
