Haldon Forest Park is on the A38 10 minutes from and offers a wide range of trails as well as cycle hire, café and many non-cycling activities. Parking is pay and display.
From the saddle of a bike you can explore deeper into the forest than you have before, take in amazing views, watch out for wildlife and enjoy safe off-road cycling in a peaceful setting. Advanced mountain bikers can also take on our longest, most challenging cycle trail for a thrill ride on Haldon’s imposing ridge. Not for the faint-hearted, or the inexperienced! The skills park and pump track offers the perfect place to develop your riding and try out new techniques. So what are you waiting for? Go!
The site is particularly suitable for Novice and Intermediate riders, with Green, Blue and Red graded trails.
How to get there:
- By car, take the Racecourse turning off the A38 Devon Expressway. From the A380 you can follow the brown tourist signs for Haldon Belvedere. Carry on past the first gateway you see (‘Office entrance only’ is painted on the road there) and 200 metres on you will see the main entrance.
- By bus, you can catch the 360 bus to the Belvedere Tower. You can then join the trails through the woods, from the layby.
- By bicycle you can follow the A38 Cycle Way, which is part of the National Cycle Network. Turn off at the racecourse and follow the signs for Haldon Forest Park. Carry on past the first gateway you see (‘Office entrance only’ is painted on the road there) and 200 metres on you will see the main entrance.
