Woods Café, Cardinham Woods

Highlight • Cafe

Brilliant little traditional cafe near the car park at Cardinham Woods, very quaint! With everything from hearty meals to delicious home-bakes, it's just the ticket after laps of the trails or a long walk.

The cream teas here come highly recommended, and you'll find more on the menu here: woodscafe.co.uk.

Although indoor seating is limited, there are some picnic benches outside which are gorgeous in good weather.

The Cribbar Descent

Highlight • MTB Park

After all the switchback climbs, this is the best descent at Cardinham Woods! The Cribbar trail weaves its way down the hillside using wide, supportive berms at each turn, and there's also some rollers inbetween to pump through for speed, or even get some air on! All in all, an exhilarating descent that makes all the pedalling worthwhile.

Highlight • MTB Park

Don’t park at Lanhydrock and ride on the roads. Save the rubber park in Cardinham woods car park 🤣
