Reviews for Swinley Forest Mountain Bike Centre

Summary:
Decent place for some fast XC, and small amount of Enduro

Review:
Enjoyed my day out here. BUT not as DH/Enduro as I was led to believe, there is a small amount but the 5 or so runs last for max of 1 minute (much quicker the better you are) and they are at the furthest end of the tracks so a bit of a pain to get there.
Facilities were great though and trails were very well maintained.

Summary:
Excellent Trail!

Review:
Another great trail, it's fairly tough on the red route, has a bit of everything, you will not be disappointed. Also, the parking is very cheap at £2 for 3 or 4 hrs. There is a cafe, bike hire, eating area, and other facilities. Definitely, won't disappoint.

Summary:
Good place to improve fitness with a reward

Review:
You may think that there's more up than down but once you up top you know you got something to look forward to.

Summary:
Good variety but too flat and pedally

Review:
I love Swinley, it's where I started out and learned so much. However, the place is a bit too flat if you have gravity ambitions. Some of the trails wind up slightly too much and do not exploit those little gradients to the full.
On the plus side however, there is a good variety of trails, especially for the XC riders and loads of hidden little playgrounds where one can hone their skills. The woodland settings are definitely beautiful. All in all, I do feel lucky to live relatively close to it.

Summary:
Ideal for mtb introduction. Not to demanding but still a bit of fun

Review:
If you have any friends that have just taken up mountain biking up, bring them here, every skill level covered.
