The Studio Haynes, Guidebook
Mountain Biking
Friendly & fun mountain biking only a 2 mins ride away. One of the UK's best progression parks with everything from fully rollable trails & jumps to huge gap features for the Pro's. Serves all levels of rider. Rideable all year due to the free draining sandy soils of the Greensand Ridge. Sheltered in poor weather by the 40 acres of Scots Pine and Douglas Fir the bike park has been created within.
In addition, never forget the roughly 6 miles of singletrack XC trails that snake around Rowney Warren. All year rideable singletrack littered with flowy sections & small trail features eg. step-downs, small jumps and the now famous 'Death Grip' loam trails made famous by Pro riders Brendan Fairclough and Bernard Kerr. Ask Dominic for details on best routes.

Fabulous Gastro Pub. Needs to be pre booked well in advance not a drop-in pub. It's one of the most sought after special occasion establishments locally. A high calibre eaterie, super table service and an excellent wine list too.
