What to see

Mountain Biking
People have been using mountain bikes on the Cloud for several years, but it has been taking place in an unmanaged way, causing damage and erosion to the upland and lowland heath. Entering a partnership to allow responsible cycling means we can tackle this issue while still allowing people to enjoy the outdoor space here.

The Wizard Tea Room
The Wizard Tea Room are open 9am-5pm, 7 days per week. At the moment, they are offering takeaway only with a reduced menu. This includes a few toast and cereal options, soft floured baps, and a full selection of delicious cakes and other bakes.
