Tourist chiefs hope a new �170,000 custom-built mountain-biking trail in a Lake District forest will attract thousands of visitors. The 10-mile route in Grizedale Forest boasts nine areas, including "adrenaline", and uphill routes.
The trail has been built thanks to the Forestry Commission, the North Face and Rural Regeneration Cumbria.
It was built by the renowned team that created the successful Afan Forest Trails in Wales.
A spokesman for the Forestry Commission said: "The trail offers 'adrenaline' sections of single track descent with leg burning up hills, contouring through oak woodlands and conifer forest.
"This challenging trail also gives the mountain biker tricky, board walk sections through meadows, yet reward the trail rider with outstanding views along the way."
