Rowberrow Warren

Highlight • MTB Park

Rowberrow Warren is a leased wood by Forestry England on the western side of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a very popular spot with all users but particularly horse riders and mountain bikers. Please take care as there are lots of bridleways and paths and horses can easily be spooked by fast bikes. Ride Mendips look after the official Mountain Bike Trails. Making new trails is illegal. Find more information about the trails here ridemendips.org

Rowberrow Warren Woods Bridleways

Highlight • MTB Park

In Rowberrow Warren Woods you'll find a large collection of bridleways and tracks through out the wood as well as lots of elevation changes. Off the side of the tracks are a number of singletrack trails of varying lengths and difficulties.
The network of bridleways on their own make for some great gravel riding and connect lots of local towns with some awesome views.
The ground is mostly clay and limestone and so can become very slippy and muddy in the wet.

Due to the large number of bridleways and the horse trekking centre you will come across lots of horse riders and groups especially in the summer. So keep an eye out and give them plenty of space, they are always friendly.
