Execellent mix of trails, although the sandy ones are hard work

excellent rides

It's a dead end for roadies as there's only one tarmacked road to it but it's a nice ride and there's the Tinto Café horsebox at the car park, which does hot drinks, sandwiches and toasties, cakes and snacks. Officially it closes at 4pm but it was still serving at 4.30 when I was there, thankfully.

A sprawling 3,700-acre (1,500 ha) mixed woodland, Rendlesham Forest is owned and managed by Forestry England. There are plenty of trails here for walkers and cyclists, with picnic spots and sculptures to discover. Rendlesham Forest is famous for a supposed UFO sighting in December 1980. There's even a UFO trail, boasting a large model of an alien spacecraft.

Fun, flowy singletrack through the forest. The Viking Trail is a fantastic 10-mile (16km) red graded route.

Rendlesham Forest is a beautiful and curious location in Suffolk, ideal for those interested in extraterrestrial encounters. Follow the trails and be taken on a journey through the forest where, in December 1930, a series of unexplained events and sightings occurred. Whether you want to join in on the fun of Rendlesham's mysterious past or not, the forest is still an excellent place to get out in nature and enjoy some fresh air and exercise.

Lots of fun sandy trails in the forest

Rendelsham Forest surrounds the Woodbridge Airfield. It's 15 square km are managed by the Forestry Commission. In 1980 there were claims of UFO sightings in the forest. Take a tour through the forest, but also keep an eye to the sky!
