First off welcome.
Chicksands.
If you like Danbury you'll love Chicksands. 4x track, dual slalom and lots of jumps, few downhill runs and general a hoon!
One of my favorite places to go during the week when i just want a relaxed mess around

on the weekends there are defo people there to collect the fee, you get a nice wrist/bike band for your £5 but during the week there isn't always people there.

It really doesn't.
every track there is rollable and its easy to gauge what you do and don't want to do.
its more like a play ground than a proper trail that you run from one end to another.

the dual slalom is easily the most fun feature there and anyone can ride it even the 3ft tall little fella we saw there on sunday
