Thetford Forest Mountain Biking is based at High Lodge (in the forest) and is a small but well set up group of trails.  There are plenty of facilities for mountain biking including a cafe and bike hire, plus other activities that can be done in the area such as archery, adventure golf and Go Ape.  There are 3 main trails that range from green to red grades and 5 to 11 miles.  Whilst its generally more suited towards the beginner and intermediate range the red route does have some optional black grade features.

The Trails

• Shepherd Trail – grade green, 5 miles, a family friendly trail that is flat, wide and suitable for all levels.
• Beater Trail – grade blue, 11 miles (6 mile short loop), a single track windy route that takes you across the woods and over small obstacles such as roots.
• Lime Burner Trail – grade red, 10 miles, a multi-surface single track route with features that include rocks and drop offs.  This is for skilled riders with off-roading experience and good fitness.
