Nice variety but not overly challenging. Good facilities and cheap parking.
Takes about an hour to do the 12km circuit.

Review:
Some really nice laid out trails here, and very fun flowy sections on the blue. The red parts add a little more in the way of technical features, tighter downhill turns and a rockier surface.

It's a shame that a lot of the trail sections are joined together by forest road. I think if the trail sections were linked together with singletrack it could really take it up a level. There's great potential here. I don't know if there are plans to add to the trails but it could become a really amazing place to ride.

Also, the Hell's Teeth ascent is a killer!!

Review:
This was my first visite to cardinham and my lack of fitness was showing, but great fun none the less. I found some of the turns a bit tight leaving very little room for error, and maybe it's me that's slow but Burms on steep uphill sections ?. Didn't understand that one, but I will definitely be returning and soon.

Excellent varied trails, well maintained and lots of fun.

Review:
I've ridden these trails many times over the years. Before the official managed circuit was constructed it was a good place to ride the forestry fire roads and logging tracks. Now it is a well maintained and set out singletrack loop of approx 6.15 miles (blue) with an optional couple of red sections. Even after prolonged rain the trails clear well and don't hold much water. On dry days they are super fast and flow brilliantly. The woods cafe is also an absolute treat to relax in after a hard ride. The food and drinks, especially the cakes, are amazing. Go and enjoy!
