Ridge Ride Trail
(Average user rating: 3 unrated 2.9/5)

Grade of Trail:

  • Difficult

Length of trail:

6 miles

Trail is currently open

 

Haldon Forest Park is the perfect environment for sports riders.

This is a technical, fast and flowing trail with tight corners and lively descents to test your reflexes. Only for experienced riders with appropriate bikes and protective equipment.

Please note: There will be some disruption to the Ridge Ride Trail from 1st November for three weeks, while we carry out essential maintenance work.

We hope to keep disruption to a minimum, however it will involve sections of trail being closed. Diversions will be in place which will make use of the public highway. Please adhere to all diversions and safety signage on site.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions please call the Haldon Forest Park Rangers on 01392 834251.

Sweet!!! My brother and I took our early teenage sons - there first taste of single tracking to this standard. Unlike other comments - I am pleased there were no jumps - not everyone likes them! We thought it was very well laid out and didn't realise that we had regained our height when we passed the car park. The Balck Routes was very technical over the first 50 metre, but after that - what a blast!! Thanks Forestery Commission.
