Hi guys and girls,

Could someone tell me which car park is best to park in to ride Ashton court please? And possibly give me a postcode?

Cheers :-)

    Maybe try the MBUK office forum, they're all local to Brizzle.

    Or drop Projectsome a PM - he's local to that neck o' the woods.

    Found some info in an old MBUK

    Check out ashtoncourtestate.co.uk and the car park is off the A369

    It looks pretty mint actually wouldn't mind going there myself if it wasnt so far away. Going to cornwall next week, wonder if the wife will let me take my bike and stop off on the way :D

    Forgot to say, apparently you're meant to park at the golf course.

  • Just park in the centre of ashton court, used to be the old golf club car park (think it might still be) that's where i've always parked.

    EDIT; so basically here;

    There's also a bit of unofficial parking down North Road, just outside the estate which is right next too leigh woods.

    Cheers guys, I think I'm off there tomorrow for an hour :-)
  • What's this place like? How long does it take a reasonable fit and good rider to do the routes?
    Apart from parking do you have to pay to ride? I saw that it is £5 per rider on the website somewhere.
    I don't know enough to make smart r's remarks about peoples choice of parts 'n' things, yet!
  • We went there today and it is better than i thought it was going to be, it's a fun fitness track with nothing to hard to handle and set in a lovely place too. Well worth a trip if you've never been. Next time we go we are going to go over the road and explore Leigh Woods aswell.
