Mountain Biking
There
are many areas within and just outside Surrey Heath
that offer mountain biking routes.
Swinley Forest
is 2600 hectares of mainly scots pine woodland
between Bracknell and Bagshot to the west of the
A322. The land is owned and managed by The Crown
Estate.
A permit is required to cycle on hard tracks and
within a specific expert mountain bike area for
cyclists over 16 years. The cost is £1.50 per day or
£15 per year (£10 after 1 October each year). You
can purchase permits from The Look Out bike hire
centre, local mountain biker retailers and you can
also download one from
Gorrick Mountain Bike Club web site.
