Belmont Demense

Big Nasty

Anyone have any info on this?

Can't see the trails being too extreme but might be good for a family biking day out?

Wasn't there a xc race during the summer. Got good reports from what I remember.

"bike trails soon to follow."


I wouldn't be getting too excited about that statement....

Looks like the pump track is already complete.

Probably good for families to bring kids out on a BMX for the day if they book in with the farm..

It might not be much interest if you're looking for enduro trails but I'm sure it would be beneficial to some. I think there was somebody enquiring on here a while back about pump tracks.
I don't know what their grand plan is but it is good to see an activity based business opening given all the negativity and closures of late.

It was me.
This is someplace I'll probably bring the kids. Good entry to off-road cycling with a mini-pump track and full pump track.

you can cycle currently if you rent from FatBikes who have their workshop on the grounds. Also if you put your bike in for repair there, you can "test ride" it on the trails. You can't bring your own bike yet as they don't have the insurance sorted.

In the meantime it's a nice spot for a walk followed by a coffee (you can go up to the top of the Little Sugarloaf from there).

If ever there was one sport or form of training that complimented another it is BMX to MTB. Serious benefit to using a pump track and it's some work out.

Is the pump track useable yet?
