Complete Trail Lists
These pages contain a complete inventory of all marked trails in the Fells

Trail Difficulty
Trails now have a 5-Star difficulty rating system. One star trails are the easiest and 5 star trails are the most difficult. Note that most single track is off limits to bikes (for now). Accordingly, this is not a "MTB Gnarly Meter", it is a true approximation of a trail's overall difficulty, relevant to anyone traveling on the trail.

Trail Marking and Signs
Trail Names
Most colored trails have small signs telling you which trail you are on. They are intermittent however.
Colored Markers
Most colored trails are marked with these plastic or metal colored markers. Also, many trails overlap in the Fells.
Painted Markers
Trails used to be marked with paint, so many trails also have painted markers left over. Also, some less popular trails are still only painted.
Fire Road Names
Many fire roads have small wooden signs with thier names on them.
Reservior Trail
The Reservior Trail alone has several large wooden signs tell you the name of the trail and the distance to the sheepsfold.
No Bike Signs
The ugliest thing in the woods, these signs mark much of the singletrack that is off-limits to bikes. Hopefully someday these will all be gone.
Winchester Reservoir
There are many different signs letting you know that you are entering Reservior land. You can't miss them!
