Description
Bampton Pump Track is an asphalt pump track at Millennium Green in Bampton, Mid Devon, built in a former quarry. It has berms, rollers and rollable jumps, and is used by BMX and mountain bikes, skateboards, scooters and balance bikes.
The Track
The track is built on a disused quarry beside the Millennium Green's ball play area and orchard. It was designed by Will Dutch, an architect who specialises in pump tracks, with former BMX world champion Kye Forte contributing at the planning stage. The black asphalt surface carries berms, rollers and rollable jumps, so riders keep their speed by pumping through the track rather than pedalling. Beside the track there is sheltered seating and climbing logs made from timber felled in the quarry.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult.
- Cycling helmets are mandatory.
Local parents led the project, and the track is on Bampton Town Council land.
Getting Here
Millennium Green is at the end of School Close in Bampton, beside Bampton Primary School (EX16 9NW), and the track is in the former quarry close to the ball play area and orchard.
