About

Nestled in the heart of Bedfordshire, Chicksands Bike Park is one of the UK’s most established and respected mountain biking destinations. Built by riders, for riders, the park has grown into a year-round hub for progression, community, and unforgettable trail experiences.

From flowing singletrack and technical features to jump lines and downhill runs, Chicksands offers something for every level of rider. Whether you’re rolling into your very first trail or pushing your limits on advanced lines, our trails are designed to challenge, inspire, and keep you coming back for more.

A Park with History

Chicksands has a long-standing reputation within the UK mountain biking scene. Over the years, it has hosted countless riders, events, and club sessions, becoming a training ground for progression and a place where friendships — and riding careers — begin. Our trails continue to evolve alongside the sport, shaped by rider feedback, dedicated volunteers, and careful maintenance.

Built for Progression

Progression is at the core of everything we do. The park features clearly graded trails, purpose-built features, and dedicated zones that allow riders to build skills safely and confidently. From smooth roll-ins to technical sections and airtime-focused lines, each trail is designed to help riders progress at their own pace.

Community, Not-for-Profit

Chicksands Bike Park is run as a non-profit organisation. Every ride, coffee, membership, and donation directly supports the upkeep, development, and long-term future of the park. Our focus isn’t profit — it’s providing high-quality trails, a positive riding environment, and a sustainable space for the riding community.

We work closely with local riders and volunteers, and we’re proud of the role the community plays in keeping Chicksands alive and thriving.

More Than Just Riding — The Coffee Shop

At the heart of the park you’ll find our on-site coffee shop, a place to refuel, relax, and catch up with friends. Whether you’re grabbing a pre-ride caffeine hit, warming up after a winter session, or just stopping by for good coffee and cake, the café is a key part of the Chicksands experience.

Like the park itself, the coffee shop helps fund trail maintenance and improvements — so every cup supports the riding you love.

Ride, Respect, Repeat

Chicksands is more than just a bike park — it’s a shared space built on respect for riders, trails, and the environment. Whether you’re here for an hour or a full day, we ask everyone to ride responsibly, look after the trails, and support the community that makes Chicksands what it is.

See you on the trails — and at the coffee counter.
