Chicksands Bike Park

About the riding

Chicksands is a purpose-built woodland bike park that’s all about short laps, repeatable runs and proper progression. Unlike a big trail centre where the day is built around one long loop, Chicksands is best treated as a session venue: you pick a line, ride it, then go again and again until you’ve got it wired. That makes it a strong option for riders who want to work on jumping, cornering and confidence rather than just covering distance. The park is widely known for its jump lines and feature-focused riding, but it can also suit riders who are newer to bike-park style trails, provided you stick to appropriate lines and build up gradually. Because it’s a compact venue, it’s easy to plan a half-day or full-day visit without needing local knowledge. For eMTB riders, it can be a great fit for stacking laps, but you’ll want to confirm current e-bike access rules and any etiquette guidance. Expect a managed-site feel, with rules that prioritise safety and flow, so check the latest updates before travelling.
