Tucked away near Wadebridge in Cornwall, Old Hill Bike Park is a cracking family-owned gem, dreamed up by the clever folks who know all about keeping kids and grown-ups grinning on two wheels. They’ve crafted fully surfaced, all-weather trails that snake down the hill from gentle greens perfect for wobbly balance bikes right up to gnarly blacks packed with wooden drops, big tables, and heart-pumping jumps – think the Bodmin Beast blue flow trail with its sweeping berms, rollers, and tabletops that leave you whooshing through shady woods.

What makes it special is that welcoming vibe – you’ll get a cheery hello every time, and the progressive setup lets everyone build confidence together, from tiny tots to thrill-seekers. No fancy clubhouse yet, just a burger van at weekends dishing out bacon sarnies amid the earthy buzz, with plans brewing for more trails and that addictive Cornish coastal air adding a fresh, wild edge to every rip. Pop in Wednesdays to Sundays for £3 to £12.50, and you’ll be hooked!
