There are 18 trails and three skills areas available at the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre, it can sometimes be hard to know where to start. Here are some of our trail highlights:
- Colliers Trail - a fully waymarked, circular route going around the forest, with connecting routes to villages and picnic sites. This is relatively flat and is suitable for all ages and abilities.
- Old Bob’s Trail – a great introduction to mountain biking, this is a fun, flowing track with some climbs and descents and lots of fun features along the way. Suitable for a wide range of cycles with 2, 3 or 4 wheels, adaptive cycles and tag-a-longs.
- Verderers Trail – this highly-rated trail is an exciting and adventurous ride. There are plenty of features along the trail to hone your skills, such as rollers and berms.
- Launchpad - the UK’s only purpose-built trail for 4-wheel bikes designed to be fully accessible for those without pedal power. A very fast and flowy trail with rollers, jumps and some very big berms.
