Friston Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Boring no real good points rude riders who use this and rubbish facilities rather ride the south downs way

Very few trails are maintained and even fewer are worth riding. If you like anything other than XC don't bother going. Downhill trails are poor with no real jumps or drops to speak of. Only suited to beginner level riding otherwise you'll find yourself bored with alot of pushing up to do. Unless you live in Friston there's no point ever going there!

Too much up hill with little downhill. No good trails to ride fast. No old school downhill unless you call a fire road downhill. Hard to find. If you want good riding go to paradise park.

Over time and lack of up keep they have in some places become overgrown in part due to lack of use or in some cases where soil erosion has taken place and left tree routes. Which isn't good for the trees at all. Even though mtb routes were marked but never clear enough it has become and issue with walkers using the routes and therefore out of curiosity having to slow down and still being told we shouldn't be here. But worse of all is the constant attack by dogs that aren't on leads when clearly they should be. I have been bit by two many dogs, and not little bits either. I always slow down for walkers etc. But the place has become a bit of a nightmare. Only last week another dog came out of the blue and started chasing me, could not see owners at all! Just be careful, that's all I say. It could be a fantastic place with some help and I have been to a few great places that are managed well.

Doesn't ride that well when wet, many of the better trails are off the waymarked red route & hard to find without guidance.

Limited parking unless you pay. Trails not marked out
