Tarmac Track / Road Cycling
Our smooth 3km tarmac track, with designated fast lane, provides safe, traffic-free cycling.
The one-directional track is ideal for road cyclists, races, coaching sessions and training rides.
We ask that all riders are mindful of crossing points and other site users when travelling at speed.
The track is great for general cycling and those looking for a safe place for children to ride.
Mountain Biking
We have over 10km of single-track mountain bike trails running throughout the Park and covering a range of terrain.
The trails have been designed with varying difficulty and for different abilities, they are perfect for both beginners and those with off-road experience.
The trails are split into blue and red, with blue being the aimed at beginners and families and red being aimed at advanced and confident riders.
The trails are clearly marked and, whilst they are for cyclists only, we ask that you stay alert to other Park users.
Please do not attempt a trail that is beyond your capability and follow park rules at all times.
