Mini-woburn - great for a couple of hours
Blessed with the same sandy soil and loamy slopes as Woburn and Chicksands, Rushmere has a small bikepark area featuring 5-10 short trails, ranging from flowy blues to bigger-commitment blacks with gap-jumps and large table-tops. There is a 6-pack of large dirt jumps. At the top of the bikepark area there is a small pumptrack which is probably best for kids. The Country Park has a blue XC route, which in my opinion isn't worth the effort unless you're on an eeb or are mostly into XC riding.
Good points:
The few trails that are there are well-made and run all year round. Short runs with easy pushup is good for sessioning bits and improving skills. It has something for everyone.
Bad points:
It's too small to spend a day at, but fortunately Woburn is 10 minutes drive away. You're supposed to pay a tenner, which tbh is absolutely criminal for the size of the place, considering thats the same price as Woburn, Chicksands, Twisted Oaks, Windhill and other full-day bike parks. I generally refuse to pay it, especially as the people who build the trails don't see a penny.
Would you recommend?
yes
