UK MTB Trail of the Year 2026 – Have Your Say
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 combine to create live rankings across trail centres, bike parks, community trail networks, urban sites and pump tracks.
Rankings are based on rider feedback collected throughout the year, using consistent scoring and a Bayesian average to balance ratings with review counts.
You can take part now by rating and reviewing the trails you have ridden. 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.

Why some 2026 rankings are still sparse
You are viewing the 2026 rankings, which build as riders submit ratings and reviews throughout the year. A trail will appear once it has at least one review, so some categories may look sparse early on. Any trails reviewed now will count towards Trail of the Year 2026.
Highest Rated Bike Parks (2026 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 (2026 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 (2026 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 (2026 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.
Highest Rated Pump Tracks (2026 results)
Pump Tracks: Compact small tracks where the main draw is a pump loop or loops. Typically a mix of rollers and berms, sometimes with small jumps, often surfaced in asphalt or well built dirt
