Much mountain biking on the island starts in one of the plantations but routes lead up onto superb hill tracks particularly in the northern half of the island. Tracks around Kirk Michael, Ballaugh, Ramsey and Laxey offer absorbing routes which can last all day with amazing panoramas all around.
In the SW tracks and purpose built single track lead from South Barrule, past Cronk ny Array Laa all the way to Port Erin with some of the finest coastal scenery to be found anywhere.
