Epping Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Epping Forest's Mountain Bike Trails stretch between Forest Gate in the South and Epping in the North and if you know where to look it contains some of the best singletrack in the South East and London.

You can cycle throughout most of the Forest with the exception of areas with historic, ecological and scientific sensitivities and the easy access paths, where prohibition notices are displayed.

Although there are no designated cycle routes within the Forest, there are approximately 80km (50 miles) of horse-rides. About half of these are surfaced with the remainder unsurfaced and marked with white posts. Cyclists are welcome to use these tracks but whilst enjoying your cycle ride please be aware of horses or other members of the public who may be startled by the sudden appearance of cyclists.

Rental is available from Go Further Cycling, and Epping Forest MTB provides guiding and coaching.
