This trail is one I have been riding most weeks since 1997, like all natural trails it evolves as trees fall or new puddles form. Always lots of fun in the summer, can become hard work with mud in Jan/Feb, but usually passable. The tree felling made it mostly impassable for 2022, and then passable with care in 2023. After plenty of work from locals it became fully rideable again in the summer of 2024. The jumps closer to Winchester were built by people with small wheel bikes, they are usable with larger wheels, but check the landings before using.

Coldridge Wood is part of the larger Collingbourne Wood, located near Ludgershall. It's a wonderful place for a stroll and to get some fresh air in nature, make sure to look out for the well-known Yew Tree that stands on a hilltop just above the parish boundary.

Nice park area for a picnic or to take kids to play with views over Andover. The old iron bridge crossing the road is worth looking at.
