Where to Ride MTB

10 of the UK’s Best Forests for Cycling

Some off-road cycle routes from greens to blacks hidden deep in the forest.

Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest, Kent, provides cyclists with a good selection of routes to try out.

The Singletrack mountain biking trail is an epic trail for those experienced riders after a bit of a thrill. The 8.1 mile loop is made up of a series of fast sweeping descents, technical challenges and a hard slog up “Cardiac Hill”. Currently a red run, work is being carried out to upgrade parts of it to black for even more thrill-seeking fun. Family cycle routes are also available.
