Hopton Woods Trail Map

 

Hopton's most exciting downhill runs are for the seasoned mountain bikers only.

The berms, descents, jumps and turns will test the skills of even the most experienced riders in search of thrills.

Be Safe

Wear a full face helmet and body armour, walk the course first and ride within your ability.

 

Moderate Trails

For the novice biker with some off road experience the Hopton Blue starts from the Bedstone Hill car park and offers just over 4km of wide tracks to develop your skills on.  The moderate section of the Warm-up Loop is approximately 1km.

Pearce XC

12.6km of flowing descents and lung busting climbs and stunning views which are bound to put a smile on your face. This trail has been built in partnership with Pearce Cycles of Ludlow.

Surprisingly good - easy fire roads to get you quickly to the tight downhill singletrack sections. Quick in the wet - looking forward to the spring...
