Improvements to the Colliers Trail link at Beechenhurst
We will be upgrading the link to the Colliers Trail at Beechenhurst from this winter
This page provides more information about the work we are doing and why.
What work is being done?
We've secured funding from Sport England to improve the link connecting Beechenhurst with the Colliers Trail and the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre. This funding is also being used to build a brand-new all-weather pump track at the Cycle Centre, replacing the existing dirt track.
The path from the main visitor building, through the car park and up to the gate, will be resurfaced to provide a smoother walking route. It will also be widened in places and include new wayfinding signs to help visitors find their way more easily. The gate onto the Colliers Trail will also be replaced.
When will the work start?
Work will likely start in either November or December, and will be carried out by the experts at On Track. We recommend you check our website or Facebook page for up-to-date information.
Can I still access the Colliers Trail from Beechenhurst?
Yes, Beechenhurst will be open during these works. There may be closures around the sections of path through the car park at certain times, so we recommend you check our website or Facebook page for up-to-date information.
How has the work been funded?
This work has been made possible in partnership with Sport England with National Lottery funding.
