Kiddens Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

The blue-rated Kiddens trail is really good and has some great blasts, but can be pretty pedally in some parts too.

There are few trail features which makes it a great option for novice riders, but can also be really fun at speed!

Parts of the trail or fire roads are shared with hikers and other trail users so make sure you ride with care.

Kiddens Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

After the thrilling descent on the Kiddens Trail that zig-zags down the hillside, you'll enter into the woodland section. Here the twisting singletrack darts between the tall pines, banked by mossy hillsides with a few stream crossings. It's a bit more pedally through here than the previous section, but really beautiful.

Forest Cycle Hire Haldon Forest Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Here you can hire mountain bikes for riding at Haldon Forest Park and enquire about the Segway tours that operate here. It's right next to the cafe, car park, play area and toilets so there's plenty of facilities for all the family.

Bike servicing is also offered here, so if your mountain bike could do with a little TLC, it's a great place to come. At the end of the ride, make the most of the bike wash too (a small charge applies), so that's one less thing to clean when you get home!

The Ridge Café, Haldon Forest Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Brilliant little cafe at the heart of Haldon Forest Park, just next to the car park, bike hire and loos.

There's both inside and outside seating, so you can sit on the covered deck and watch your bike if you're covered in mud without feeling too bad!

I'd highly recommend the soup and cheese scone combo and the homemade cakes for a mid-trail snack.

Pump Track at Haldon Forest Park

Highlight • MTB Park

The pump track at Haldon Forest Park is found next to the cafe building and children's play park, and is best suited to toddlers and young children learning to ride. The aim of the game is to make it all the way around the twisting course without pedalling, which you'll find is particularly hard here! A great place for youngsters to practice riding while you can enjoy a cuppa from the cafe.

Haldon Forest MTB Skills Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Step ups, boardwalk, drop offs, berms and tabletops; there are a few different things to practice here in a small area. Most features are progressive, so you can start small and work on your technique before building up to bigger obstacles.

Make sure you keep an eye on what other riders are doing in this area to avoid any accidents.
