Haldon forest cafe side

Hello heading down to Devon for a week staying in Crediton. Just wondering if the cafe side trails at haldon are worth a visit if so where is the best place to park.

Cheers

Depends what you want. If you’re after nice mellow trails, nope. If you’re after jumps, drops and 28′ gaps then yes.

There’s plenty of stuff in the middle over by the main hub.

It’s not all massive gaps but it is more focussed on the jumps and the like. So if that’s what you’re after it’s a good spot. Most people park on the road just east of the A380. I think it’s been getting quite a bit busier the last couple of months.

There are some very good trails there too, but as above if that’s what you’re looking for you’ll find more trails and a wider variety west of the A38, off piste trails in amongst the official ones.

Thanks for that is there much off piste stuff in amongst the trail centre stuff then?

Loads, have a look on Strava/heatmap.
Enough to keep one occupied for a good coupe of days at least.

As Luke said above, cafe side isn’t all jumps, and there’s some nice single-track there too.
It’s also the start of St Andrews lane, one if the best single-track bridleway descents in the area.
