Despite the car park being incredibly busy, with it being the summer holidays, the trail itself was incredibly quiet - I only saw one other set of cyclists on the entire route around!
I enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of the forest, and the Lime Burner trail was very enjoyable. At 10 miles, I had enough energy left at the end to explore other areas of the forest. Of all of the trail centres I've visited, this has to be the flattest; I should probably have expected this with its location. The section entitled 'The Beast' is the exception, with a wonderful set of challenging gradients to navigate; at the end of The Beast section there is an option to loop back to repeat and I would definitely recommend this.
The Lime Burner trail is designated red, but there are a number of black sections entitled 'pits' along the route for the more experienced riders.
I would recommend a visit to Thetford Forest for any keen cyclist, although it may not perhaps offer the technical challenges of other trail centres. Also, brace yourself for the car park charges!
