Description

The Croft Mountain Bike Trail is in Croft Country Park just a mile from Swindon centre. It has Blue and Red Graded MTB options. It's a very short trail. It's best to ride it a few times if you’re a more experienced rider but also great for families and novices too. It's free, open all year and managed and maintained by the MB Swindon club.

The Croft Trail

  • The Croft Trail is 5km long with Red and Blue graded options. It's short but quite good fun, tight & twisty, flowing corners and berms and is well compacted. Waymarked it rides in one direction only. The Red has rock gardens, obstacles, kickers, small drops and some great Northshore sections.
  • Despite being flat and only 5km long there is surprisingly quite a bit neatly crammed into such a small area and you can do a few laps quite easily and so see your skill progression and speed develop each time.

Groups and Clubs

Events

  • The MB Swindon club organise lots of events throughout the year.

The ghouls of croft.

You must be careful, dark things lurk in woods at Croft. Late at night you can often hear the howling, sometimes it sounds like a trick of the wind, sometimes it's more distinct, but always it's a chilling chant "filllll, filllll there is another hole to fillllll" many people have tried to exorcise the demon with offerings of high end esoteric muesli bars or chocolate brazil nuts, but to no effect.

What do you like?

Pretty much all weather surface, variety of challenges, family friendly, excellent loop to build skills and confidence.

What could be improved?

Militant dog walkers, lack of elevation.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Croft Trail

This is where i go to brush up on my Skills, since i have been riding the Croft Trail my bike riding skills have improved incredibly which in turn makes every other bike ride i go on more enjoyable. It's also great for improving your fitness, couple of laps around the Croft flat out and you know you have had a good work out. And to think it is built and maintained by volunteers is amazing Good job MB Swindon
