Mountain Biking Dalby Forest

*****   Add a review
#2 of 98 mountain bike trails in England
#1,885 in the world

A long route on variable terrain of single track with sections of forest road. Technical trail features including rock gardens and north shore style. Some steep climbs and descents needing good technical ability. Experience, good bike handling skills and a high level of fitness required. The trail starts at Dixon's Hollow car park and Low Dalby.

    E-bikes are allowed, you can take your own or hire from the on site bike shop. Great day out exploring the trails. Does get busy at the weekends.

    It's a must, well maintained, loads of single track. Lots of technical parts, a mix of red and black route are awesome. Spectacular scenery and not to crowded. Bike park up at dixons hollow. A bit for everyone, a great day out. £7 a car, decent car park, bike hire centre (The Barn) and a visitors centre.

    They hold World Cup Cross Country races here - enough said. One of the best courses I have ever ridden. Super well maintained by the Forestry service.* Review edited 10/17/2011
