Mountain biking in Haldon Forecast Park is a dream, with over 3,500 acres of woodland and miles of trails suited to all abilities.  It’s a well setup area which is managed by Forestry England and is kept clean and tidy.  It’s got a massive car park, toilets, cafe and cycle hire for those that don’t have their own bikes or protective equipment.

The 4 main trails for mountain bikes are

The Discovery Trail

A trail that is shared with walkers this is suitable for all abilities and age ranges who are looking to improve their riding ability.

Spicers Trail

A blue graded trail that is the next step after the discovery trail. There are mixed surfaces and narrow sections with gentle slopes.

Kiddens Trail

Another blue graded trail that follows on from Spicers trail.  The slope gradients are slightly more extreme and the terrain more challenging.

Ridge Ride Trail

The red graded trail of the forest this trail traverses right across the woodland. It’s much faster with plenty of ups and downs and takes about an hour for the average person to get around.  The terrain is technical and will test you with tight turns and it’s advised that this is for experienced riders only.  Ensure you have all the right protective equipment.
