The Kitchener Trail is named after Lord Kitchener the famous General of WW1. The flowing and twisty trail links up the wider forest and a large number of wild trails.At 13km long it is fast and a challenge to ride at differing times of the year. Some sections are due for upgrade as funds and felling programmes allow. If oyu want ot get involved in one of our many Dig Days please get in touch with the District Office.The trail is graded red and isa great introduction to singletrack for riders wanting to progess into off road cycling.

Great route, especially if you're a confident XC rider but wanting to try something a bit more technical. Not massively steep but exciting nonetheless. Easy hop from the nearby centerparcs, and well worth it

As far as red routes go it is one of the easiest you will find.

I have ridden here a few times so far this year and enjoy it every time its been mostly dry every time and I can imagine it gets really sticky in the wet Its really well sign posted and theres a good mixture of features. The issue is obviously its a pretty flat area but I think the small amount of gradient there is has been put to very good use In future I would like to see some more technical features scattered around the trail rather than just concentrated in the bike park which is excellant fun! Would certainly recommend visiting these trails and if you have plenty of time to kill a few goes at the bikepark and a bit of exploring the unmarked single track is worth a go
