Basic for the area

Could do with some more progressing trails to push the rider considering the size of the area and the potential they have, would be nice to see some big features 

Would you recommend?

Great Trail Centre - Just Needs Management Involved

Overall - good medium level official trails with a good blue and mediocre red, unfortunately due to active management and a volunteer team to look after the trails aren't all as you'd expect. Lots of other trails to find on Trailforks so lots to explore. 

That all said - the parking fee is fairly eye-watering at £5 for 2-hours so its best for short visits.  

What do you like?

Blue trail is great fun and the last red descent near the cafe is a great intro to reds. 

What could be improved?

Parking fee and also that not enough is done actively mid-week to look after the current trails or building of anything new...with Rogate DH just around the corner it's a tough decision to chill at QE or send at B1KE

Would you recommend?

yes

Off Piste, Skills Areas and Official Trails

This place must be one of the original trail centres and has adapted over the years. There is a red that has had extensions and a fun flowy blue. The best on offer though is the off-piste and the more recent two little jump/skill parks are made for skill progression and act as a decent pre-trail warm-up or warm-down area to really session. Both are designed to help folk get air and help build confidence. Misses a black and more length in the red. 

I think the facilities on paper are OK but really are just OK. Be great to have a more MTB vibe or a bike shop there. 

What do you like?

  • skills / jump park
  • off-piste
  • well maintained by the trail community of volunteers

What could be improved?

  • Lacks a black
  • Needs more extensions and gnar to the red
  • Could do with a decent bike shop

 

Would you recommend?

yes

Pretty standard

QECP has a couple of trails of a similar condition and quality. There are a couple of section that are more interesting than the rest and but you are in for a pretty standard plod. Short descents and steep climbs. my advice would be to get around the trails as quick as possible, because the car parking charges are the real sting in the tail. 

What do you like?

Not bad if you are looking for a relatively short fitness ride with some interesting features.

What could be improved?

A bit samey, short downhills, high parking charges.

Would you recommend?

no
