キングス・ワーシーのおすすめMTBライド

2026年4月、ウィンチェスターロードへのトレイルはよく整備されており、素晴らしい下りです（歩行者を怖がらせないでください！）

Nice views but watch out for the chalk!

This trail is one I have been riding most weeks since 1997, like all natural trails it evolves as trees fall or new puddles form. Always lots of fun in the summer, can become hard work with mud in Jan/Feb, but usually passable. The tree felling made it mostly impassable for 2022, and then passable with care in 2023. After plenty of work from locals it became fully rideable again in the summer of 2024. The jumps closer to Winchester were built by people with small wheel bikes, they are usable with larger wheels, but check the landings before using.

Be sure to visit Cheriton Village and stop for refreshment at the Flower pots

The South Downs Way passes over Old Winchester Hill, affording views as far as Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. The hill is a wildlife-rich National Nature Reserve and Iron Age hill fort.

This was on the last leg of the King Alfred’s Way for me and was one of the few descents in the whole trip i walked, dry conditions but on a loaded gravel - the descent was more treacherous than i was prepared to risk / but amazing views from the top and a fast through the fields ride from the bottom.

Great options for taking different routes downhill
