A range of cycling trails

Get on your bike at Queen Elizabeth Country Park and make the most of our cycling facilities.

Cyclists can use all our designated routes. For longer, more scenic routes that give you a chance to soak up the stunning views, we suggest the South Downs Way and King Alfred’s Way, or get pedalling along one of our local cyclist approved routes.

The Shipwrights Way through the Country Park is open to cyclists, it starts at Alice Holt and provides a link all the way to Portsmouth via Staunton Country Park.

Beechwood Kitchen and BBQs

Refuel at Beechwood Kitchen with a refreshing hot or cold drink and locally sourced food. Enjoy a tasty bite from our selection of cakes and snacks or savour one of our homemade meals before heading back out to carry on with your adventure.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite exploring the adventure playground, assault course and dog activity trail, make the most of one of our BBQs. With a wide variety of spaces available to fit groups of all sizes, no matter the occasion we’ll have a barbecue that’s perfect for you.
