Hadleigh Olympic Cycle Trails 35 minutes by car from New Hall Wine Estate.

Home of the 2012 London Olympic Games mountain biking competitions, the course was subsequently adapted and extended so that it could be used by the general public. The course is still used for events such as the British National Mountain Bike championships and at 387 acres in size, Hadleigh Country Park is a sizeable area to go mountain biking in.

The Park is open to walkers as well as cyclists, so care must be taken when riding, as people (or their dogs) may be on the bike trails. There is also a herd of Red Poll cattle which are used for conservation grazing around the park. It’s not unheard of for them to be on one of the trails and it’s probably quicker to go around them rather than wait for them to move! It’s not unusual to see a variety of wildlife as you travel around the trails, this could include rabbits and hares, stoats, grass snakes and adders. ​
