Description
Aston Hill Bike Park is located in the Chiltern Hills, on the Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire border. The site has been officially closed since winter 2020 following extensive ash dieback affecting the local tree population.

Bike Park Chilterns CIC is leading the redevelopment and long-term stewardship of the site. In 2025, a rebuild partnership was announced with Saracen, Shimano and Madison to support the reopening and phased redevelopment of the bike park.
Reopening target: March 2026, with an initial phase of two brand-new, professionally built downhill trails.
The initial trail offer is planned to include a progressive flow trail aimed at intermediate riders, and a higher-speed, more technical downhill line designed to challenge experienced riders, with steeper features, line choice, and use of natural terrain.
A third downhill line, with a race-focused design, is mentioned as part of the early pipeline, subject to funding and build scheduling. These trails are entirely new builds and form the first phase of a longer-term development programme, with a wider goal of developing at least seven trails over the coming years.
Historically, Aston Hill featured five graded downhill runs, a 4X track, a challenging cross-country loop of around five miles, and a pump track. Downhill riding typically involved multiple runs per day with an uplift-free push or walk of approximately 20 minutes per lap.
If you ride Aston Hill once it reopens, you can share a short review, photos, or videos to help keep this listing up to date.
