Pump Tracks in the East of England

Pump tracks and BMX tracks across the East of England, from village playing fields and town parks to club race tracks, county by county from Hertfordshire to Essex.

About this guide

A pump track is a loop of rollers and berms (raised, banked corners) that you ride by pumping your body up and down rather than pedalling. Get the timing right and you can lap without a single pedal stroke. Most of the tracks in this guide are in public parks and recreation grounds and free to ride, and many welcome scooters, skateboards and balance bikes as well as bikes. Most are asphalt, and many were built by Clark and Kent Contractors, so the cards name the surface only where it is dirt, hard-packed or mixed.

We have included BMX tracks too, because riders use both and the riding overlaps. Some are club race tracks with a start hill and gate, and many more are smaller BMX tracks on village playing fields. Each card says which it is, and where a track is run by a club or ridden in booked sessions.

The guide goes round the region clockwise: Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire with Peterborough, Norfolk, Suffolk and then Essex. Heading north-west? See pump tracks in the East Midlands. Heading south or west? See pump tracks in the South East. Heading into London? See pump tracks in London. For what to ride, what to wear, track etiquette and the other regions, see our guide to pump tracks in the UK.
