For over 65 years, Poles Wood, located just outside Brentwood in Essex, has been home to the renowned Poles Wood Trials site. We’ve proudly watched generations of riders grow—our first visitors are now grandparents, bringing their families along to experience the joy of trials riding.

What to expect

Poles Wood Trials is a 10-acre site featuring small, hand-dug gravel pits nestled within a beautiful woodland over 100 years old. The site is divided into two distinct areas:

• Slopes & Pits
• Steps & Obstacles

We are a family-run site with a clear focus: we love trials bikes!

No Motocross Bikes:
Applications from riders using MX bikes will be rejected. When registering to ride, you must confirm your bike type.

Permits and Riding

Your permit to ride is renewed annually. Beyond that, the process is simple: arrive, pay, and ride all day!

Open 7 days week from dawn to dusk.

When you visit us

Poles Wood Trials is part of a large network of woods, but the riding area is limited to preserve the natural beauty of the environment. We ask all riders to respect the following guidelines:

1. Stick to Marked Areas

• The designated riding zones are clearly marked.
• Areas with Bluebells are strictly off-limits to preserve their natural habitat.

1. Keep It Clean

• If you bring it, eat it, or use it, please take it home. Let’s work together to keep the site tidy and enjoyable for everyone.

We look forward to welcoming you to Poles Wood Trials, where generations of riders have found fun, challenge, and a deep appreciation for trials biking in a stunning natural setting.
