The iBikeRide UK MTB Trail of the Year Campaign - 2026
Trail of the Year is iBikeRide’s annual, rider-led ranking of UK mountain bike trails.
Riders rate and review the trails they have ridden, and those scores are combined to create live rankings across different types of venues, from trail centres and bike parks to community trail networks, urban sites and pump tracks.
Rankings are based entirely on rider feedback collected throughout the year, using consistent scoring and a Bayesian average to balance overall ratings with review counts. The campaign typically kicks off in late spring and runs for 3 months, but any trails rated from 1st January count.
We invite riders to cast their vote now by rating and reviewing the trails they’ve ridden — whether they’re favourites or not. You can rate as many trails as you like, but only once per trail per calendar year. Use the search tool below to find and rate your trails. Sign in is required to vote.

Showing 2025 rankings for context
The lists below reflect Trail of the Year 2025 results. Trail of the Year 2026 leaderboards will appear here when the campaign opens, but any trails rated from 1 January will be included.
Highest Rated Bike Parks (2025 results)
Bike Parks: Gravity focused venues with multiple short tracks or zones that you lap, such as downhill runs, jump lines and freeride trails, usually with some form of paid access and a more rural footprint.

Highest Rated Trail Centres (2025 results)
Trail Centres: Officially managed venues with graded, waymarked singletrack loops starting from a clear trailhead, where climbing is part of the designed ride, with facilities that can range from a full visitor centre to basic parking and trail information.
Highest Rated Community Trail Networks (2025 results)
Community Trail Networks: Larger woods and hills that riders experience as a web of trails rather than a single waymarked loop. These places usually mix rights of way and formally sanctioned trails that have been agreed with land managers with more informal or unsanctioned rider built lines. There is no single trail centre or bike park operator that defines the whole area, and local trail groups and land managers often work together in different ways to keep the riding sustainable.
Highest Rated Urban Bike Parks (2025 results)
Urban Bike Park: Compact bike venues in or close to towns and cities that bring together short trails or loops, jumps or skills lines and often a pump or BMX style track, usually on a smaller urban footprint than a full trail centre or rural bike park.
