A mix of natural (maintained) non-waymarked trails of green, blue, red, and black grades exists. There is parking but facilities are limited so come prepared.

Tilgate Forest MTB

The forest is small and the trail network compact. There is a good combination of blues, reds, and some blacks, greens.
The trails are maintained by a local group and they are not waymarked.
Tilgate forest is part of the UK cycle network so it is suitable to ride mountain bikes there (no building)
There is a decent selection of downhill/freeride stuff also.

If you have ridden any of the mountain bike trails at Tilgate Forest then please share your experiences and post some pictures, videos, or a short review to the listing.

great set of trails. Maintained by locals with care.. Trails are short but you can join new ones quickly and there is somethign for everyone. It's easy to spend a full day exploring and each time you go backm, you'll find somethign new to enjoy.

Most trails are rollable however the more skilled riders will be able to get more out of the trails.

For some great tips check out @UFO_69 on youtube.

I love this place, this is where my MTB addiction started. Tilgate isn't big but is big enough to spend there whole day and have a lot of fun.

Some jumps are made by the kids who got no experience at all and doesn't look so good plus they are made in places that my attract attention of the people who doesn't support mtb. Also lot pf people don't take the rubbish back with them. And the worst are surron riders who are damaging trails.
