Updates / closures

Important Trail Update

Forestry harvesting operations are currently underway in the forest. We’re working closely with the forestry team to manage risks and keep trail disruption to a minimum.

The Skills Area, Pumptrack and Freeride area are currently closed due to harvesting work.

Running Trails – Currently CLOSED due to harvesting operations

Before you ride
Please check the Trail Notice Board at the Visitor Centre for the latest updates.

Thanks for your cooperation and support—riding responsibly helps us keep the trails open for everyone!

——————————–

Please follow the diversion signs to avoid current forest harvesting. Please follow any additional instructions given by machine operators in the area. Do not attempt to ride any of these sections of the trail for your safety and the safety of the operators in the area. Please stick to the way-marked trails and don’t ride on the forest roads unless directed by diversion signs. This is because of the harvesting vehicles.

Please also stay only on the waymarked routes throughout the forest during this period as a lot of heavy timber haulage will be taking place on ALL forest roads. Many thanks for your help and happy riding.

FAQ'S
What if I damage the bike?

In the case of a bike being returned with damage, a fair value will be charged to repair the bike, to bring it back to re-rentable condition. If this is deemed to be more than the value of the deposit, the full retail value is payable.

What happens if my E-Bike hire runs out of battery?

We want all of our customers who use our hire fleet to have a great experience! We do recommend using the e-bike modes sensibly. To maximise your riding experience we strongly recommend keeping the e-bike riding modes in ECO and TRAIL and only using BOOST occasionally this is to preserve the battery life. Only use BOOST when the trail becomes extremely steep, this reduces the risk of running out of power while out on the trails.

I want to bring my dog, is that ok?

Dogs love running in the forest, this is fine, so long as the dog is under close control at all times! If you are not sure you can control your dog, it should be kept on the lead. It is your responsibility to ensure your dog is under control at all times whilst in the forest.

Do you allow E-bikes?

Oneplanet Adventure welcome responsible e-bike riding on our designated mountain bike trails.

Any e-bike used on the trail network must comply with the governments EAPAC Requirements and be ridden with due consideration to other forest users at all times. E-bikes must comply with the following to be permitted on the trails:

– Be fitted with a motor with a power of no more than 250w
– Provide a maximum assisted speed (i.e. the speed at which motor assistance is automatically cut off) of no more than 25 kmph (roughly 15.5 mph).
– Not be fitted with a full speed throttle that can work ‘independently’ (that is without the pedals ‘moving forward’). Start Up Assist throttles (those that assist up to 6 km/h) are allowed.

E-bikes which don’t comply with the governments EAPAC requirements are not permitted to be used within the forest at any time.

Please note, to ride or rent an E-bike you must be 14 years of age or older by UK law

Can I buy a season ticket?

Yes, you can.

If you visit regularly, then it will be well worth you purchasing a season ticket. They can be purchased by clicking HERE, or by popping into the shop when you next visit.

How much does it cost?

We operate a pay and display ticket system. There is no need to pre-book a ticket, you can simply pay on the gate.

You can find information on pricing HERE.

Proceeds from the admission fees goes towards the upkeep and development of the trail network.

Are you still open if the weather is bad?

Coed Llandegla Forest is no stranger to severe weather conditions, particularly during winter months. During these times please take these precautions to make your visit safer and more enjoyable:

Contact us ahead of your visit or check our Facebook page for updates.

Consult the local weather forecast and follow any guidance regarding travelling.

Take care in the car park and on the access road – We have limited resources to remove snow and ice and you should expect to be driving on slippery surfaces immediately on leaving the main A525 road.

Follow directions on signs in the forest, or given by Oneplanet Adventure staff.

Wear suitable footwear and clothing.

Expect all trail surfaces to be slippery – we do not treat any of the trails around the centre or in the forest.

Ride mountain biking trails in accordance with your skill level, the conditions and the suitability of your equipment – conditions are likely to be slippery, especially where there is snow and ice.

Please note that in extreme weather, such as high winds or snow and ice, we may have to shut the visitor centre and car park due to the risk of injury to visitors or staff.

Please bear with us if, during periods of extreme weather, we need to take actions which could include closing the Visitor Centre and Car Park without warning. We only do this when visitor and staff safety are an issue, so please understand that although disruptive, we do not undertake such actions lightly.

I am under 18, can i still hire a bike?

If you are under 18, you will need to have a responsible adult to complete the disclaimer and provide suitable photo ID. They will need to declare that they take full responsibility for your’s, and the bikes, safety during the hire period. Under 16’s must be accompanied at all times during hire period.

Do I need to pre-book?

Whilst we will always do our best to accommodate ‘On the spot rentals’, priority will always be given to pre-booked bikes and we do get fully booked at busy times. we strongly recommend pre-booking bikes with ourselves by using the form above to avoid disappointment. You will be required to pay in full at the time of booking.

What time can I pick it up?

If you have chosen to hire bikes out for an all day session your allocated bikes will be available for pick up anytime between 9am and 2pm.

If you have chosen a Morning Session, your bike will be available from 9am.

If you have chosen an Afternoon session your bike will be available from 1pm.

What frame size should I choose?

All bikes are measured differently, so even if you know what size frame you normally ride, it’s better to just enter your height and let us tell you the best size. We only hire full-size adult bikes, so you need to be over 5’2” to ride.

What sort of bike will I get?

Our standard hire bike is a high quality hardtail with either a 27.5 or 29 inch wheel depending on the size required.

Full suspension bikes and e-bikes are also available at additional cost. The price of which varies depending on make, model and spec. The price is detailed when selecting the bike via our booking widget.

What should I wear?

Wear something comfortable and unrestrictive: tracksuit bottoms are ideal or – if you’ve got them – cycling shorts. We recommend against denim because it’s cold when it gets wet, and it’s not very comfortable to ride in. You should also bring a pair of gloves to wear.

What are your opening hours?

For information on our current opening hours, please follow this link

How much does it cost?

You can hire our ‘Standard hire bike’ for a full day for £45.00 per bike (Including free helmet hire if you don’t have your own). An all day session is 9.00am to 4.00pm or 1.00pm to 8.00pm on a Wednesday.

We do also offer full suspension hire bikes and e-bikes. Prices for these bikes differ depending on brand, model and spec, so please use the booking widget to select your preferred bike, the price will then be displayed.

Do I need to wear a helmet?

Yes! You can’t ride our hire bikes on our trails without one. Helmet hire is included in the cost of bike hire, but you are welcome to use your own if you prefer, providing it is in good condition and is certified by the relevant British Standards Institution (BSI) specification.
