This handy bench and information post on Windsor Ride near the Lower Star Post marks the start of the red-rated mountain biking loop at Swinley Forest. The loop finishes really close around the corner too, so it's easy to lap or link up to the blue trail.

There's also a bin, so if you've been good enough to find any trail rubbish, you can deposit it here.
