The Trails
- Pump Track: A large, all-weather asphalt pump track full of rollers and berms, laid out progressively with two distinct circuits: the main green track and a smaller white loop.
- Skills Tracks (Green, Blue, Red): Short, feature-filled loops on open ground with rollers, jumps, drops and berms, built for sessioning and developing technical skills at your own grade.
- Woodland Tracks (Green, Blue, Red): The same grading in a woodland setting, with even more rollers, jumps, drops and berms worked in among the trees.
- Family Trail: A short, easy route shared with runners, walkers and horse riders, good for bringing younger or less experienced family members along.
- Learn to Ride: A skills zone that simulates a safe road environment, for learning the basics of riding a bike from scratch.
