Swinley Forest Blue Trail Map

The Blue Trail is suitable for intermediate cyclists & mountain bikers with basic off road riding skills. Mountain Bikes would be recommended to tackle this route. The trail and surface type on the Blue route is similar to that of the Green route, but offers a purer singletrack experience with the all trails being around 1.2m in width. In places the Blue trail can offer up more uneven, loose and muddy sections and introduces small obstacles such as roots and rocks. Gradients and technical trail features include moderate gradients and some are much shorter and steeper to get the blood pumping. A good standard of fitness can help complete this Blue trail with an ear-to-ear smile!
