Summary:
Great for a casual ride or new riders

Review:
The facilities are great, lovely food in the cafe which is open from about 9:30 (on Sunday at least) and a bike hire facility which stocks bike more than capable of the trails on offer. Good parking facilities as well, although perhaps a little pricey (we noticed the locals park up the road a bit ;) ). The trails themselves aren't really all that challenging although the surface that has been laid down can make the tighter berms a little tricky. The scenery is nice but nothing on the Quantocks (but what is?). Great palce to go for a relaxed ride and enjoy the company of people you ride with, locals seemed friendly and the place had a generally nice atmosphere. Some parts of the trails are shared with walkers, so be prepared to slow down in some areas and the centre tends to get busy as the day goes on, so get there early

Summary:
A good cross country run.

Review:
Overall, it is an average trail, mostly flat incorporating one or two climbs with a nice descent near the end. Trail is kept in good nick, just watch out for the cows which occasionally wander onto the trail! NB THEY ARE ONLY THERE TO STOP THE GRASS COVERING THE TRAIL.

Review:
Great for a day out with my 6yr old lad, he loves it and would be here all day every day if he could be. Beats the games consoles hands down and with a hot chocolate and a crepe at the end of your day what more could you ask for on a family day out.
