Trail of the Year is iBikeRide's annual rider-led ranking of UK mountain bike trails — with awards across trail centres, bike parks, community trail networks, urban bike parks and pump tracks. Rankings use a Bayesian average of rider ratings and reviews collected throughout the year.
Rate and review the trails you've ridden using the search below. You can vote for as many trails as you like, once per trail per year. Sign in required.
🥇 Trail of the Year – Have Your Say!
Top Trails: Ranking the top trails across all categories ie Trail Centres, Bike Parks, Community Trails, Urban Bike Parks and Pump Tracks
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
