Family Cycle Trail


(Average user rating4 unrated 4/5)

About 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. 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.

How to get there:

Family Cycle Trail can be started from Main entrance in Alice Holt Forest Centre which is part of Alice Holt Forest. Farnham is the nearest town or village.

From the A31 turn off at Farnham onto the A325. Stay on the A325 for approximately 3 miles. From Portsmouth and Petersfield take the A325 towards Farnham. At the Halfway House Pub on the A325 turn off the main road following signs for Alice Holt Forest. The entrance is 300 yards along this road on the left. The nearest station is at Bentley. From here you can walk through Alice Holt Forest to the Forest Centre along public rights of way. Alternatively take the train to Farnham and catch a bus to Bucks Horn Oak.

For satnav users, the postcode is GU10 4LS.
