Trails

 

Footpaths have been an integral part of the FC estate for many years.  Initially,
FCE did not really get involved with their design and construction except for the
provision of footbridges. However, as recreational visitor numbers have increased,
the demand for different types of paths and trails has risen dramatically and the
need for engineered solutions has become increasingly apparent.  FCE engineers
have contributed significantly to the development of a range of specifications
and standards for upland paths, all-ability trails and everything in between and
continue to be very involved in this process.

The provision of mountain bike trails is now a major element of the FC
recreation strategy.  FCE has played a major role in the design and supervision
of internationally renowned trails throughout England, Scotland and Wales,
including innovative 'North Shore' structures which deliver extra thrills for the
experienced rider.

FCE has the ability to design and build trails to suit all
requirements! For further information please contact David Killer.
