About Aston Hill

Aston Hill Bike Park is a mountain bike venue situated just outside Wendover in Buckinghamshire, on one of the steeper slopes within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty.

It has been said that the Hill has the best riding in the south east of England, which is quite a claim! While this can be argued on internet forums until Beardy Ben cuts his hair off, it is fair to say there’s something at the Hill to challenge everyone of every mountain bike discipline.*

The park features five graded downhill (DH) runs, a 4X track and a two-part cross-country (XC) loop.

Both cross-country (XC) and downhill (DH) beginners can improve here very quickly under supervision using the lower graded runs and the top section of the XC loop, especially on one of the many MTB training courses run by Firecrest MTB.

Aston Hill is very lucky to have some highly experienced trail designers and builders and the tracks are in a constant state of evolution to maintain a heady mix of old-school naturally technical and more contemporary ‘flow’-based riding. Since the committee took over in 2008 every trail has been tuned to add interest and reduce permanent damage to the Hill, while adhering to Forestry Commission and IMBA guidelines.

*It should be noted that it is more suited to competent riders during the winter months due to the mix of roots, chalk and clay that make up the base of most Aston Hill trails.
