Aston Hill Mountain Biking
Riding In Aston Hill
Aston hill has some of the steepest tracks in the South East. Its the closest you will get to big mountain riding near London. 5 excellent downhills runs but you earn your gravity with a bit of git of a push up. The runs are around 2 mins long. There is also a 4x track which needs some TLC. Aston Hill is clay and is super rooty. Thus its a bit lethal in the wet. The latest trail - Surface to Air - is a great addition as is the new pump track.It costs £6 per person per day to ride at Aston Hill if you buy online, or £7 from a Forestry Commission ranger onsite. This not only covers your personal insurance to ride on Forestry Commission land, but also goes towards the upkeep, lease and development of the park.
