Free to ride Bike Parks

Originally, Parel Vallei High school was in need of a venue host their chapter of the very popular Schools MTB league competition.  A proposal was floated to temporarily use Southey Vines Park in central Somerset west as a venue.   A route was mapped out, marked with lime and levelled so that the kids had a track to race on.  The venue and new track proved to be a great success. The Spur League competition has been held here since 2013.

Please note that the wearing bicycle helmets are required when riding in the park.

​

There are no public toilets available at the park, please plan accordingly.
