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!
