Wyre Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Wyre Forest offers varied mountain biking trails ranging from beginner-friendly blue trail to challenging unofficial off-piste trails with roots and steep sections. 

Family Cycle Trail (7.7 km - Blue Grade)

Along forest roads and tracks, you’ll head in the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve descending down to the disused railway line before taking a steady climb back up to the visitor centre. Be aware sections are shared with walkers and horse riders and can get muddy at times.

Route 45 - National Cycle Route

Route 45 is part of a national cycle route, linking Chester to Salisbury, passing through Wyre Forest. It enters the forest at Button Oak and heads south along the forest roads, across Dowles Brook heading towards Bewdley along the old railway line. The Family Cycle Trail links Route 45 to the visitor centre.

Unofficial off-piste Trails

Some unofficial trails exist, typically requiring local knowledge or maps. The Wyre Forest Center near Bewdley provides bike rentals and cafes.

Ribbesford Bike Park is located just outside of Bewdley on the edge of the Wyre Forest
