Leith Hill Singletrack

Leith Hill, the highest summit in South-East England Crowned by an 18th-century Gothic tower, has some of the very best singletrack riding in The Surrey Hills.

Distance 25km/15½ miles
Time 3 hours
Grade ▲ Red (difficult)
Fitness Challenging
Price £30.00

The route

The route will vary from ride to ride taking in plenty of classic singletrack; all connected with some beautiful XC riding through the likes of Duke’s Warren, Wotton Common and The Rookery.

There’ll also be time for a short break to sample the fantastic cakes sold from the National Trust tower at the summit.

The singletracks

The ride will consist of a combination of the following singletracks:

• Summer Lightning
• Crooked Furrow
• Regurgitator
• Waggle Dance
• Wind in the Willows
• Will-o'-the-Wisp
• Caspers
• Lust for Life

There are also some freeride options for the more adventurous; with names like Deliverance and Personal Hygiene, its not hard to image the seriousness.

Time permitting we may also visit the Dippers area at the top of the hill where you can test your roller coaster riding skills.

Experience & fitness

Please be aware that overall the ride is rated as challenging and has a ▲ Red (difficult) technical rating.

If this doesn't sound like your cup of tea, please consider trying one of our Cross Country Rides which are less technically difficult (although much longer in duration).

• Mountain bike helmet (mandatory)
