Around 16 acres of the the Horseshoe Woods have been set aside for use by mountain bikers. Here you’ll find a network of blue, purple and black runs for riders of different abilities. The runs and signage are all built and maintained by volunteers for anyone to use, free of charge. Please make sure you wear a cycle helmet and always walk the trails before riding them.

Access to the mountain biking area from Steyning is via the public bridleway opposite Charlton Court, on Mouse Lane (What3Words: ///lollipop.wages.inch). Or if you’re coming from the South Downs Way, via the Upper Horseshoe Bridleway. It is illegal to cycle on our network of public footpaths and please do not cycle on our permissive paths, under any circumstances.

Blue XC

The Blue-XC (all access) run takes you down from the Upper Horseshoe to the old barn. As well as being an easier track than the others it also helps with congestion on the bridleway on the busier days. There are jumps and fun corners but everything is rollable and can be ridden by most regular riders.

The Red-DH (Intermediate)

The Red-DH in an intermediate DH run that is a more traditional downhill track with jumps and drops.

The Black Run (Expert)

The Black run is for experienced and expert mountain bikers. It is steep with big drops and gaps and is known for the "Bowl".
For all the runs a bridleway takes you easily and quickly back up to the top.
You are only 5 minutes form Steyning town where you can get tea and cake

The fire roads and paths round the trail network are used frequently used by dog walkers and horse riders so please be very considerate and respect everyone else
