Queen Elizabeth Country Park Mountain Bike Trails

Queen Elizabeth Country Park Mountain Bike Trails are just off the A3 at Horndean in Hampshire, with a 7.5km red singletrack loop, a 6km blue all-weather trail, a short beginner track, a skills area, a kids balance bike track, and access to natural riding on the South Downs Way.

The Red

• This mountain bike trail is graded red and is 7.5km (4.6 miles) long. Mostly singletrack, a lot of which is off-camber, rooty and with some decent climbing and steep gradients. Expect some kickers, jumps and small drops.

The Blue

• The blue is 6km (3.7 miles) long. It is an all-weather trail with 65% singletrack, with fun berms and rollers as well as blue and red drop options. Named singletrack sections include Deerstalker, Swoopy and Lumberjack.

Wiggly Worm (Lite Blue / Green Track)

• Just opposite where the blue final descent ends, there is a 300m Lite Blue / green-graded track.

Skills Area - Bike Base

• There are two skills areas with jumps at Benham Bushes, running from the end of the Light Blue trail to the car park.

Kids Track - Bike Base

• A mini wheel, kids track for balance bikes can be found by the Visitors Centre.

Natural Trails

• The park is situated on the South Downs Way, which runs through the middle of the forest and offers great access to the rest of the South Downs. Two non-waymarked trails start in the park and lead out into the surrounding countryside via rights-of-way and some public roads: Queen Elizabeth (16km / 10 miles) and Meon Valley (16km / 10 miles). A pack of Off Road Cycle Trails is available from the Visitor Centre. There are also several downhill and enduro-style natural trails around the area.
