    Not much going in the Manchester area. Hop on the train. Lee Quarry (6 miles from Todmorden), Rivington, the Peak District and Cannock Chase are all pretty decent. There's also Healy Nab near Chorley, but it's pretty small and still under construction.

    +1 for the train

    Just a few stops from the city centre you have Hebden Bridge tons of riding from the centre of Hebden though you will need a good set of lungs and legs to get out of the valley.

    Going the other way Delamere Forest has a station nearby loads of riding there and not so many hills either.

    I got the impression from some of the builders on Pinkbike that Delamere Forest is looking like a warzone at the moment because the FC keep knocking down the stuff that's built, and the stuff that doesn't get knocked down is being wrecked by numpties who ignore the signs saying it needs to bed in.
