Things to do

We welcome responsible mountain bikers and riders. The Bike Park is now open, but may be subject to local closure decisions if overcrowding becomes an issue. Please check the link below for the most up to date information and to book in advance. Please continue to socially distance from those from outside your household where possible and stop and wait for people to pass if necessary. Our trails need to be safety-checked so please accept that some bike trails may be closed, or altered, and follow any temporary signs.  

Let someone know where you are going and wear appropriate protective equipment such as a helmet. With our health and emergency services under such intense pressure please only ride routes you know well and that are well within your ability level.

Walking in the woodland is the perfect way to get some fresh air and explore some of the area's most beautiful landscapes.

Rogate Woods has a range of paths that run through the woodland.
