Hadleigh Park Olympic Mountain Bike Course

Highlight • Trail

The rangers have finally got this sorted and removed the no-cycling signs from public rights of way.

They have added a no-cycling advisory to a 200m section to help prevent further surface damage. The advisory also asks walkers to take care.

Most of the MTB track remains closed, its not a public right of way, so that's their prerogative.
