Mini-woburn - great for a couple of hours
Blessed with the same sandy soil and loamy slopes as Woburn and Chicksands, Rushmere has a small bikepark area featuring 5-10 short trails, ranging from flowy blues to bigger-commitment blacks with gap-jumps and large table-tops. There is a 6-pack of large dirt jumps. At the top of the bikepark area there is a small pumptrack which is probably best for kids. The Country Park has a blue XC route, which in my opinion isn't worth the effort unless you're on an eeb or are mostly into XC riding.
What do you like?
The few trails that are there are well-made and run all year round. Short runs with easy pushup is good for sessioning bits and improving skills. It has something for everyone.
What could be improved?
It's too small to spend a day at, but fortunately Woburn is 10 minutes drive away. You're supposed to pay a tenner, which tbh is absolutely criminal for the size of the place, considering thats the same price as Woburn, Chicksands, Twisted Oaks, Windhill and other full-day bike parks. I generally refuse to pay it, especially as the people who build the trails don't see a penny.
Would you recommend?
yes

Trails not well marked
The trails were under construction when we visited
What do you like?
There is good car parking and very good forest cafe on site
What could be improved?
The trails are poorly marked and the map they give you is pretty poor quality. When you are paying £5 for a permit to ride you expect better marked trails (and marked to keep walkers & their dogs off)
We went on a day when the park was heaving with families and their dogs. This meant pedestrians were walking all over the dedicated bike trails.
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

A nice day out on the bike
I visit rushmere quite often but generally not if i'm looking for a big ride. The loop that's been set out is not worth following as it only has one or two short sections to bother with. The first is a berm run which you can find near the visitors centre. It is then worth going to the dh runs rather than carrying on. The dh runs are short and not exactly 'downhill' in my opinion, but quite good fun with some good jumps. My favourite trails here are hidden but two in particular would be one that goes slightly downhill meaning you pick up speed the whole way and it is just covered in roots keeping the fun the whle way down. Just stop as you get to the puddle as it gets pretty muddy...the other trail is natural with some good flowy corners and runs quite fast. The last time we visited we built a small drop at the end which added some fun if it is still there! A big drop is hidden away in a bombhole but worth hunting out
What do you like?
Lots of roots around
What could be improved?
Not a loop
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
