Bedgebury Trails

 A really pretty ride and as a novice its a good place to start to learn.  Speaking to some of my more experienced riding friends it doesn't offer much of a challenge and the red trails would be a blue/green at most others.  I like it as its local to me and I'm starting out.  The café is great but there are is no cycle shop on site anymore.  The trails are well maintained and are always rideable so the weather doesn't matter here you'll always get a ride.  Well worth a visit if you're local or a beginner looking to get better but probably not enough exciting stuff for those more advanced.  It does have a skills area and small jump but i haven't been to that bit yet so wouldn't want to comment.  Bedgebury has great potential i think if there was some time/money/effort invested and as there isn't anything else in the area to compete are missing a trick i believe. 

What do you like?

easy to follow signage, red route loops nicely, cafe, bike wash (when working)

What could be improved?

more exciting/varied trail features for those more advanced.

Would you recommend?

Nothing for mtbs, go to Swinley

Trail over grown and suitable for gravel bikes. Nothing there for mtbs, even the mtb shop has gone. Forestry owners say its to dangerous to build a mtb track yet they do a good job in forest of dean. Quench or Whyte would still be there if there was a mtb track. Still my 5yr old grandsons happy, but will have out grown it by the time he's 6

I live 5 mins away but travel miles to ride, such a waste 

What do you like?

Nobody gets in the way as nobody there 

What could be improved?

Build a mtb track for mtb.

Would you recommend?

no
