The Ridge Café, Haldon Forest Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Brilliant little cafe at the heart of Haldon Forest Park, just next to the car park, bike hire and loos.

There's both inside and outside seating, so you can sit on the covered deck and watch your bike if you're covered in mud without feeling too bad!

I'd highly recommend the soup and cheese scone combo and the homemade cakes for a mid-trail snack.

Pump Track at Haldon Forest Park

Highlight • MTB Park

The pump track at Haldon Forest Park is found next to the cafe building and children's play park, and is best suited to toddlers and young children learning to ride. The aim of the game is to make it all the way around the twisting course without pedalling, which you'll find is particularly hard here! A great place for youngsters to practice riding while you can enjoy a cuppa from the cafe.

Haldon Forest MTB Skills Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Step ups, boardwalk, drop offs, berms and tabletops; there are a few different things to practice here in a small area. Most features are progressive, so you can start small and work on your technique before building up to bigger obstacles.

Make sure you keep an eye on what other riders are doing in this area to avoid any accidents.

New Start of the Red Trail, Haldon Forest Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Haldon Forest Park opened the new start to the red trail in mid December 2023 and it's fantastic. It's packed gravel with berms at the start, then splits in two. Take the right 'short cut' to cut the entire red in two (or take it to ride back to the start and do the new section again) or stay left to carry on along the new bit and then get onto the usual red.

This new section is nowhere near as challenging as the main red, but it's super fast and fun. As it spits you out on the fire track after a short distance, it's great for kids too, who can have a great time on this punchy gravel but bail before the red gets hairy. The way it's set up means it's easy to only do this bit, ride back to the start, and do it again and again.

Haldon Link Cycleway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Leading from Haldon down the hill towards Exeter to Kenn, this is a great linking cycleway that takes you down to the old main road (a fab twisting descent). As a climb from Kenn, it's a lovely quiet way to reach Haldon MTB trail centre without being too steep, making for a fab loop from the village which you can conclude with the St Andrew's Lane descent. Great views over Exeter from up here.
