Ideal for beginner and novice cyclists. Cycle through the sweet-smelling pines and silvery birches of the forest, and keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of the rare bird species of Woodlark, Nightjar and Dartford Warbler which nest amongst the woodland. The relatively flat and wide trails of the Green Trail are perfect for families cycling with young children, with some green routes suitable for bike trailers. Please note that the trail surface may be loose, uneven or muddy at times depending on the weather, causing a temporary increase in the level of difficulty.
The sweeping slopes and curved roots of the Blue Trail are ideal for intermediate cyclists and mountain bikers. Bring your mountain bike or hybrid and prepare for a trail that provides all the thrills that an intermediate cyclist could wish for. Beginning with a challenging ascent from The Look Out car park, experience the welcome respite of a downhill dive as you head for the exciting trees of the Swinley Forest – where you can expect berms, large rocks, medium steps, drop-offs and cambers. The Blue Trail gives you the option to either continue with this trail, or join up with the more physically demanding Red Trail if you feel you’re ready. Please be aware that the trail surface may include small obstacles of roots and rock.
The steep climbs, gnarly single-tracks and slippery descents of the Red Trail are a playground for advanced mountain bikers with good off-road riding skills. With varying gradients and technical difficulty, this trail promises to keep you on your toes. Cut in and out of the pine forest, master the manoeuvres of single-track routes and hold your own on the ‘F1’ drop!
