Open 364 days a year, Bedgebury Forest has a
range of traffic-free cycling and mountain biking routes in a
beautiful woodland setting, offering something for cyclists of
all abilities.
Cyclists can relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery in this
2,000 acre forest. The recently surfaced 10km (6.25 miles) family
cycle track is a great route that allows visitors to enjoy the
forest's impressive trees and wildflowers, as well as some of
Britain's rare wildlife.
A more adventurous experience can be found on over 12km (7.5
miles) of single track that has been specially designed for
mountain biking. The forest also includes a new, professionally
designed 'Freeride' area, with a variety of challenging jumps and
stunts.
For off-bike as well as on-bike thrills, the forest has an
explorer-themed adventure play area and the 'Go Ape' high-wire
forest course of rope bridges, tarzan swings and zip slides.
With a collection of over 10,000 tree specimens
growing in 320 acres, the adjoining
Bedgebury National Pinetum (link opens in a
new window) includes many rare, historically important and
endangered trees. Car parking charges are £7.50 per car and £40
per coach.
