The best of what's around

Probably the best trail riding within about a 1.5-2 hour drive of it.

Lots of pedaling. Plenty of places where it would be really really good with another 10 degrees of slope. If I were trailbuilder, I'd keep the flow but add a more technical trail - more armour and add some log rides and/ or "north shore" features

 

Good points:

Flow, berms, some armoured sections to get a bit technical. The Beast does a lot as a flow downhill with what geology gave them

Bad points:

Not a fan of the tarmac surface on some of the bermed sections. 

Official car park is expensive for what it is, but there are other options if you're willing to pedal a bit

Would you recommend?

yes

Pedal fest but family fun

For a quick ride around then Thetford has a bit of everything but nothing major.  The red well let's just say I have seen family's on ancient relics of bikes take their 4/5 year old down the Beast with no issues at all.

 

If you are looking for jumps then best avoid but for a fun day out with the kids or just to keep fit Thetford is great 

Good points:

Easy trials for all abilities.  Nice play area for kids and a little pump track.  Mostly the trails are well kept.

Bad points:

Very limited variety of riding, basically it is a pedal fest all round with little or no real technical bits or jumps.

Would you recommend?

yes
