Description
Cofton Holidays Pump Track is a compact asphalt pump track inside the Cofton Holidays park near Dawlish, Devon. A figure-of-eight loop of berms, rollers and jumps, it is used by BMX and mountain bikes, scooters and skateboards. Kye Forte designed it, and the park lets day visitors ride it as well as its guests.
The Track
The track is a continuous figure-of-eight loop on an asphalt surface, with berms, rollers and jumps that let riders build speed by pumping rather than pedalling. Kye Forte, the Devon rider and former BMX world champion, designed it with young children in mind, so it suits first-time riders and families as well as confident pump-track riders. It is open all year and free to ride, and sits in the park's Barnfield area beside the multi-use games court.
- Open to bikes, BMX, scooters and skateboards. Manual scooters and bicycles are allowed on the park, but electric scooters and hoverboards are not.
- Free for holiday-park guests and day visitors alike.
Getting Here
Cofton Holidays is on Cofton Lane, off the A379 between Starcross and Dawlish (EX6 8RP). Day visitors use the free day-visitor car park just beyond the outdoor pool, with an overflow car park on Cofton Lane next to Cofton Church on busier days. Follow the park's signs for parking when you arrive.
Beyond the Trails
The track is one part of a family holiday park set in 80 acres of Devon countryside, and day visitors can use much of it. There are indoor and outdoor swimming pools with a spa, a gym, an amusement arcade, soft play for under 8s and play parks. Cofton Holidays also runs a tree-top high ropes course, coarse fishing lakes, a shop and e-bike hire for the Exe Estuary cycle trail, and serves food at Amelia's cafe and a Sunday carvery. Facilities and opening times change through the year, so check the park's website before you visit.
