The Newbridge Park Group aims to develop the existing facilities in the disused quarry and adjoining neglected woodland on Newbridge Road in Pickering. Locals will continue enjoying cycling and walking, and we also aim to reintroduce native species as part of a long term woodland management plan.
A cycling skills area and cross country trail loop designed to allow progression for beginners and advanced cyclists alike. In addition, improved footpaths and accessibility, seating and ensuring that the woods will be a place for all locals to enjoy.
As we like to say, ‘Live Local, Ride Local’.
If you can find Pickering Castle you can find the bike park!
Once you have located the castle use the footpath that circles it, the best way is via the bottom part of the path which is accessed from the very steep Castle road, go through the gate and carry on along this path, when the path splits, take the left fork down into the woods, this goes over a little wall, its level with the path at the crossing point. Once in the wood take the left fork that goes down a short hill and follow this path to the entrance of the bike park within 50 metres.
The Cross Country and the Jump Park start at this entrance point.
