Weald Park

Riding in the Weald Country Park

A safe and interesting place to ride near Brentwood

• The designated bridleway There is a dedicated bridleway all around the Weald Park. This has been set up for riders, bikers and walkers and circles the park. It has a good surface which can be ridden at any time of the year. It is marked as a blue route on the Weald map. If you are very lucky you might come across the resident deer herd on your ride and the landscape is a beautiful part of our countryside. • Open access to ‘The Park’ The area known as ‘The Park’ is open to ride across as riders like. It’s so good to have open ground that you can use as you like, but be warned there are cows in the park at certain times of the year. • Where to park The designated place for Horse boxes and trailers to park is the Cricketers Car Park next to the Cricket Green. This has a portion of parking space where there is no height barrier. This is quite limited at the moment, but there are plans for this to be improved in the near future. • When to ride The Weald is very busy at certain times, so best to avoid riding then. The Cricketers Car Park is used by parents setting down and collecting school children, so before and after school times are best avoided. Weekends also brings out many Park users, especially on sunny summer days, so be aware of the many users when out and about. There is also a Park Run every Saturday usually over by 10am. • Places to avoid, (there have been riders illegally accessing them) There are a couple of places which are out of bounds for riders. These are Coxtie Green to the north and Lodge Field on the west of the Park. Please be responsible and avoid these areas. • Opportunities to go outside the park on bridleways and quiet roads To extend the ride it is possible to go north out of the park, taking the right hand NE bridleway from Larch Wood to Coxtie Green Road (A128) (not the more direct N bridleway). This busy road has to be crossed, but once across there are a number of bridleways that can be ridden in a circular route. The quietest is via Hullets Lane across the golf course down Kennel Lane, then taking Solid Lane turning right to Crow Green and back to Hullets Lane.
