Swinley Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Highlight • MTB Park

The tracks at Swinley Forest have a very firm surface and good drainage, which makes it a good place to ride in the winter without the risk of getting too muddy!

There's a blue route in the north by the trail centre (Swinley Bike Hub), and the red route in the south with a few more testing sections.

Start of the Swinley Forest Red Trail

Highlight • Forest

This handy bench and information post on Windsor Ride near the Lower Star Post marks the start of the red-rated mountain biking loop at Swinley Forest. The loop finishes really close around the corner too, so it's easy to lap or link up to the blue trail.

There's also a bin, so if you've been good enough to find any trail rubbish, you can deposit it here.

Sweeping Slalom Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

This section has obviously been remade and a very nice section of the trail..credit to the trail builders with some nice flowing berms and some smaller rollable table tops.

Swinley Bike Hub

Highlight • Rest Area

This is the trail centre for Swinley Forest, where you'll find a green trail and the blue starting. Check out more about the routes with their online map here swinleybikehub.com/trails.

As you might expect, there are loads of other great facilities here; bike hire including kid's bikes, MTB and gravel bikes, a great coffee and gift shop in the Look Out Discovery Centre, public toilets, and even a Go Ape course!

Blue 4 Trail, Swinley Forest

Highlight • MTB Park

This is an exciting mixed track featuring hills, dips, and jumps that wind through the pine forest. Additionally, there’s a fun narrow wooden plank to navigate.

Berms Section – Blue MTB Trail

Highlight • Trail

So many berms and tight corners through this section of the blue-graded MTB route! It's relatively flat, so you'll need to pedal through these. If you visit in July like I did, you'll find that seeing where the trail goes next can sometimes be tricky due to the thick bracken.

A really cracking section for that cornering practice!

Red 32 – Tank Traps (Swinley Forest)

Highlight • Forest

The correct name for this trail is Red 32 - Tank Traps. It makes up part of the Red trail loop within Swinley Forest. The 'swooping' section is the last part of Red 32. The photos make it look bigger than it actually is. Good fun though and worthwhile doing. Just beware there's a drop-in at the start of this gully.

Chicken Wire Bridge — Blue 10 mountain bike trail, Swinley Forest

Highlight • Bridge

Take the narrow chicken wire covered bridge over the fallen tree, a neat feature on the blue trail at Swinley. It's pretty straight-forward if you get a straight run-in to it, and you'll be up and over before you know it!
