After a successful partnership spanning many years with the Greensands Trust, The Bedford Estates is taking over the management of Apsley Heath and Woods, including Woburn Bike Park and Trails. This marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to enhancing and preserving this cherished natural space.

Our goal now, in collaboration with renowned bike champion Matt Jones, is to develop a world-class biking facility that not only delivers an exceptional experience designed to fuel progression of MTB enthusiasts but also respects and protects the natural beauty of Aspley Woods and the needs of the local community.

As part of this transformation, we will need to temporarily close the bike park at some point during the project to undertake essential forestry work. We expect this work to be carried out during the Autumn and Winter of 2025/26, but will provide further details in due course.

This short-term disruption is necessary to ensure the long-term health of the woodland and will ultimately serve to enhance the final offering for all users.

We will endeavour to keep the Bike Trails open as we transition across from the Greensands Trust but from December, bike passes (both jumps and cross-country) and horse passes will continue to be required but will be made available directly via The Bedford Estates

We are currently in the planning stage and will share updates on our proposals on this website as soon as we have them.
