Swinley Forest has a network of stacked trails – a green, blue and red route to suit all abilities. (The IMBA definition of what to expect from each grade)
Green Route – 1.2 km (1 mile) – easy – entry level trail with gentle dips and rises on a wide track with an even surface
Blue Route – 10.1 km (6.25 miles) – moderate – bermed single track, with hills and dips winding through the pine forest
Red Route – 13 km (8 miles) – difficult – challenging climbs and descents, best suited to off-road quality mountain bikes
These are the trails that TrailTeam Swinley maintains on behalf of The Crown Estate
