Family Cycle Trail
The Family Cycle Trail is the perfect way for the whole family to see the wider forest. It passes through an interesting variety of woodland habitats, from conifer plantation to mature broadleaf interspersed with woodland clearings.
There is a very attractive picnic meadow which provides a welcome rest midway along the trail. It also passes another parkland meadow beside Lodge Pond.
Forestry Adventure offer cycle hire facilities during weekends and school holidays. Based near the visitor centre they have a full range of cycles for all abilities (see website link on this page for further details or telephone 01420 520523). The route is mostly surfaced with gravel but there is one grassy hill halfway around. We advise that children are supervised as the gravel can become loose when dry. In the interests of safety we recommend that visitors use cycle helmets at all times.
