Its that exciting time of year where I'm deciding which Centre Parcs to go to with the family.

I manage to get out on the bike a couple of times very early morning. I've been thetford and its closer to me, Is sherwood much the same, busier much different to Thetford

I quite enjoyed Thetford Black and red run, but is Sherwood worth travelling a extra hour too ?

Anyone been to both ?

    Yes - I think Thetford centerparcs is marginally nicer - after all it is a lot newer as it was rebuilt after the fire. Notts CP is pretty good as well. As for Thetford v SHerwood, I would have Sherwood anytime - Thetford is muddy flat and a bit of a slog. Sherwood is (often) muddy, (fairly) flat and can be a slog...but the trails are better when dry, it has a decent mini downhill area (perfectly rideable onan XC bike), dirt jumps and a decent cafe. There are also plenty of off piste bits, and it is right outside CP's door.
