周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ10

Great climb, tougher than it looks, but very manageable. Perfect tarmac, and virtually no traffic. Recommended.

If you are heading here by car please note that the car park is not at location marked on the app map I have included screenshots from a map in the photos to show you the exact location of the car park which is a short ride from the park itself. Coming of the A362 roundabout follow sign for centre parcs you will pass centre parcs to your left then a timber yard and to your right a road with open grass areas either side which is the entrance to Longleat house the Bike park carpark is then 2nd turning on the right and is quite a narrow entrance and hidden in the trees so be warned blink and your miss it, the entrance is at about 45 degree angle to the road so if your coming from the other direction it's very easy to miss and the only signs I could spot are to the left of the road opposite the entrance and on the white gate which is closed at night but should be open when you're arrive at the park, On busy days you can spot the cars in the car park from the road.

Challenging climb out of longleaf but view from the top worth it

Reasonably gentle climb out of the estate with lovely views if you check over your shoulder as you leave. Great road surface. Be mindful that unlike other parts of the estate, this road is used by car traffic.

Had incident again today in the woods at Shearwater ... Welcome cyclists please remember that it’s actually the law they give way to pedestrians & not tell people walking to ‘get out of the way or shout coming through’

Fantastic views on the traffic free trail around the back of the lake.

Lovely trails suitable for gravel, CX or MTB.

Great trails for every ability

surprisingly testing climb out of the estate

As with most of the woods surrounding Centre Parcs there are great trails with many fire roads for an easier up, great MTB area

Great bike park in Longleat Forest.

Amazing trails surrounding the lake, perfect on a gravel or cyclocross bike.

Fun little section with loss of trails and easy fire road / access trail back up to the top. Can easily spend an hour sessioning these fun little blasters

Super nice traffic free trail around the back of the lake. There is also a little cafe on the other side where you can grab a cold/ hot drink and hang out by the lake.

A stunning lake that is typically circled by people fishing from shaded spots.

Great MTB and cross trails dotted throughout the woods. Go and explore!

Some of the best trails in the U.K. maintained and perfect for a hit of MTB adrenaline. from beginner to Pro, lines for everyone! B1ke Membership is required before visit, but if visiting same day, can be authorised with confirmation email. https://www.b1ke.com/membership/ Helmet mandatory, full face is most common for the bigger stuff. Knees and elbows will thank you for protecting them in event of fall (speaking from experience) the ground is sharp in places with rocks and roots. Busy times are weekends and school holidays, although rarely queued even when there's 100 or so people there. Car park gets full quickly so early bird catches the worm and all that!

The woods contain a number of short and not too technical downhill trails as well as lots of singletrack. A lay-by is good for parking and is also an ideal access point for many of the trails. To the south is where most of the steeper and more technical trails are located. To the north and east there are endless single track trails that weave throughout the woods. You can cycle here for hours and still have not found all of the trails. Cycling along the fire roads is a quick way to get around and you will see many trails off the sides in different directions. Beware that in the summer it can get busy with walkers and families as some of the trails come out directly, or cross over, the fire roads. Usually everyone is bike friendly and stays off the trails. At the very bottom to the south is Shearwater lake which is a great place to stop for a drink and snack and to enjoy the view before heading back up to the trails.

Lovely ride through grounds of Longleat. They don’t make it too clear that you’re allowed through, but is part of the national cycle route. Longish hard climb out of the park. Pause half way up to admire Lord Baths country pad.
