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.

King Alfred's Tower is managed by the National Trust and is part of the nearby Stourhead estate. The tower is a 49m high folly designed in 1772. It's believed to mark the site where King Alfred rallied his troops in 878.

Longleat House drive is a stately way to arrive at the house and a great road to ride. The house and surrounding safari park are paid entry but there is access via this road and several others through the estate.

Nice run down to the house. Watch out for cross wind on windy days

Just over half way up the gradient eases for a short distance. In the days of old, horses pulling a cart would be sent into a gallop to gain momentum for the steep section ahead. You are unlikely to see that nowadays but it is still known as "galloping plain" locally.

Same as above - there is a cafe, but attempt to use it at your own risk. They allowed us to buy a coffee, but promptly asked to move on immediately after. Coffee is mediocre anyway...

Great trails for every ability

old hunting ground...no matter how fit I was, it was always testing at the top when hitting 25%; last two ramps mean grinding it out no matter how many gears but a long recovery stretch when you hit the top to regain energy!

Take your own food and drink, don't rely on the cafe at Longleat if you’re just cycling through - we were asked to move on, as we weren’t paying guests...

Longleat house up close and personal is stunning.

A grand drive leading to the impressive Longleat House in the estate grounds.

Decent pitch but as hard or easy as you make it.

Perhaps one of the most famous stately homes in the UK, Longleat is an impressive Elizabethan prodigy house. Longleat is set amongst 1,000 acres of parkland, home to the first safari park outside Africa. Construction on the house began in 1568 on the site of a priory which had burnt down. Originally designed for Sir John Thynn, the estate remains in the same family today. The flamboyant artist Alexander Thynn and his son Ceawilin Thynn currently live in the house. You can visit Longleat from 10am - 5pm daily. It's well worth exploring the safari and other attractions as well. Tickets for adults cost £17.00 online. You can buy them here: https://www.longleat.co.uk/

Great bike park in Longleat Forest.

Beautiful, quiet roads surrounding this rather large house & grounds!

An amazing view after dropping down from the Bath Arms in Horningsham. As you head down the hill toward Longelat, you enter through the grounds gatehouse and you're instantly met with arrow-straight tarmac leading directly to the house. It may not look far, but a run or ride down this road seems to take forever.

Cracking sprint from Horningsham to the house! Beware of sidewinds or headwinds - ouch

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

Lovely Elizabethan country house and surronding estate. Fine to ride through - just watch out for the few cattle grids.

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!
