Visiting Hadleigh Country Park

As a bespoke elite competition course for the London 2012 events the Hadleigh Farm track is not suitable for the public to use and will not be open for public access until after the Olympic Mountain Bike Events.

However, you can visit the neighbouring Hadleigh Country Park where there are view points from which the venue can be seen. These will be open between March- May 2011 and September 2011 – April 2012.

Please note the viewing points will not be open during the temporary event Overlay set up and removal periods detailed in the works programme. Signage is provided from Hadleigh Country Park Car park to viewing points.

For those wishing to ride in the area, Hadleigh Country Park offers guided rides on the existing paths.
