    My lad lives down there and I’ve just been for a few days, rode Puddletown, Wareham and Swindley. He’s also done QECP.
    Where else within an hour or so is there that’s worth a shout? Tia.

    Is it just bikepark / jumpy stuff you’re after? There’s lots of great xc stuff locally.

    But see also Gore Heath, Canford Heath, Upton Heath all with some good trails and a few jumps etc.

    Or Purbecks, Cranborne Chase, Wareham Forest, New Forest for xc (in decreasing order of hillyness)

    Purbeck loop one of the great off road rides. Not technical but a beautiful day out. Always used to combine with the ferry for a day of adventure

    Purbecks are fab.

    B1ke Wind Hill is about an hour away depending on where in Bournemouth you are.

    OffCambers XC race loop in Blandford

    It’s at a campsite called ‘Inside Park’. The owners are happy for riders to use it but ask that you don’t park onsite during the camping season.

    There’s a race there this Sunday so the trails are open for public riding but they are taking entries on the day.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I’ve passed them on to him. We actually did a big XC Purbecks ride a few years ago, took the ferry across, had a cracking day out!
    Shall certainly be going back there.
