Description
Kinver Freeride Bike Park
Kinver Freeride Bike Park, known locally as "Kima", is a small volunteer-built jump and freeride spot on the wooded hillside off Kingsford Lane, on the edge of Kinver in Staffordshire. It's a short push up from the road to a compact network of unofficial lines: steep, loamy tech sections, gap jumps, step-downs and hips, built and maintained by local riders rather than laid out to a formal trail map. There's no waymarking or grading here, but most of what's on offer sits in the red to black range for intermediate and advanced riders. It's open to the public and free to ride.

The Trails
Only a handful of lines have named references among riders. Loam is a natural-feeling line through the trees with root sections and softer dirt, best ridden dry, known more for its flow and cornering than for big features. Funduro is a more playful line blending jump features with natural trail riding. Beyond these, riders report a number of unnamed lines: steep roll-ins into gap jumps, hips, step-downs and doubles, short technical woodland sections with roots and tight turns, and a newer big drop and jump line. Because there's no official map or signage, the layout changes as local riders build and maintain it, so inspect any line before riding and expect to find new features or work in progress.
Getting Here
Parking is a small dirt layby on Kingsford Lane, on the right-hand side heading uphill from Kinver. The freeride area is a short push up from the layby. There are toilets nearby at the National Trust's Kingsford car park further along the same lane, which also serves the walking trails on Kinver Edge.
