Two fully way-marked off-road mountain bike
trails sponsored by the C.T.C. both
3.5 miles long. One is for novices and
beginners, and one for the more accomplished
riders. The novice route mostly uses forest
gravel roads, with 500m of single-track, and
not too much in the way of steep climbing.
The expert trail is mainly single-track, a
lot of which is off-camber and rooty a lot
more climbing and steeper gradients
involved. It is possible to mix the two
trails to suite your riding style. The South
Downs way also runs through the park, with
guide maps available at the park centre.
Distance 10miles, 8 are off road
Short cut trail, total 6 miles.
Grade - Main trail – Moderate, Short
cut trail – Easy
Start - Gravel Hill pay and display
car park, Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
Signposted from the A3(T), approximately 4
miles south of Petersfield Grid ref: 719
182.
A
pleasant family ride over dramatic down land
and through the rich and beautiful scenery
of this part of the South Downs. The ride is
centred within the country park. The short
cut trail is ideal for families with small
children. |

Have a bicycle, it helps!.
Always wear a cycle helmet.
Ride with a smile, not a bashed in face ..!
Expect the unexpected because it'll never
happen ...! properly ....?
Give way to walkers/ horses & be friendly
towards other forest users, especially
sheep.
Never ride whilst under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or porno's ... Boring..!
Always have enough money with you. 'Duh', to
buy Bicyclemania trailfinders a pint.
Footpaths are for walkers only, .....
" you know what we mean "
Ride flat-out & attack every hill, it could
be your last ride, ever .. ever ... ever!.
Please do not drop litter or fag butts,
stuff'em down your shorts.
Come back for a ride with a big smile and
all your teeth.
DANGER ! Keep away from all forest
operations like, S.A.S. special training
op's.
...'Only teasing' .... |
