All the tracks are very similar, not bad though

Review:
This is a very fun place to ride and I'm gonna spend the whole summer here, the location is good and the facilities and trail quality are both very good. At only 6 miles outside of Exeter it's in a reasonable location too.

Excellent for a 30/40 min blast.

Review:
Great for beginners to build up skills, fairly easy with some good fun descents. Like the previous review says if you want to ride it fast non stop your best going early morning and try to avoid weekends as Haldon forest is now very popular and busy.

There is a lot of secret technical dh trails around the forest which you can use this trail to access just beware of other users as sometimes these unofficial trails cross the marked trails.

£3 required for all day parking

A good fun trail intermediate riders

Review:
I found this trail to be quite good fun, it needs to be ridden to your limits to get the best out of it. Because of this if you are a rider with better than basic offload skills as I know many of you are I suggest you either get up early and blast around or you leave it alone at weekends when it can get busy. I found the first descent good fun and it flowed quite well. The last long loop starts a bit boring at first but after that it flows well thro the trees it ridden quick. I know some riders like to link the blue trail with parts of the red this can work well .
