About
There are lots of opportunities for cycling in Bracknell Forest from off road and mountain bike trails at managed sites such as Swinley Forest, which lies to the south of the borough, to signed routes on quiet roads and public rights of way to the north.
Swinley Forest is an area of the Windsor Estate between Bracknell and Bagshot to the west of the A322. Owned and managed by The Crown Estate, it comprises 1000 hectares of mainly Scots Pine woodland.
Three cycle trails in line with the International Mountain Bike Association industry standards are available for you to enjoy in Swinley Forest. The green, blue and *red cycle routes all begin from The Look Out Discovery Centre and provide a range of challenges for families cycling for fun to highly skilled riders.
The Green Trail (1 mile) is suitable for absolutely everyone, regardless of age, experience or aptitude.
The Blue Trail (6.25 miles) takes you through some jaw-dropping pine forests and you will finish by following Windsor Ride to New England Hill.
The Red Trail (8 miles) will make you catch your breath as you follow the forest road to Surrey Hill reservoir. Then you will drop
through trees down some fast trail called ‘F1’ before heading out to the forest for a stiff climb to the boardroom.
