📍 What Eastridge Woods Is

Eastridge Woods is a woodland and trail network near Habberley / Snailbeach, close to Shrewsbury in Shropshire. It’s part of Forestry England land and a popular mountain bike trail centre with a mix of graded routes: blue (easier), red (difficult) and black (severe), plus steep, natural and technical off-track lines riders call off-piste. 

🚵‍♂️ Off-Piste Trails —

In the mountain biking community, “off-piste” at Eastridge basically means natural, unmarked or unsurfaced lines through the woods, not official trails but rides locals and experienced riders use: 
• These sections can be very steep and technical, with roots, rocks, loose soil and sudden gradient changes. 
• Riders often use heat maps (like Strava) or local knowledge to find these lines, as they aren’t on formal maps. 
• They require good bike handling skills — for many people the red/black graded official trails are already challenging.
