TrailNet at Thorndon Country Park North

One of the best ways to explore Brentwood is by bike. TrailNet offers you the chance to hire bikes, tandems, trailers, child seats and tagalongs at their cycle hire centre at Thorndon Country Park.

Whether you just want a short ride around the park or are planning a full day's expedition, they have all you need. There is even the facility to buy a range of new and used bikes, parts and accessories and, if you already have a bike in need of some TLC, then they also offer servicing and repairs. Opening times vary by season and weather conditions so please call for more details. Pre-booking is recommended at weekends and during school holidays. In addition to public rentals they often arrange regular group rides, including their popular health ride programmes aimed at building up your fitness over a 12-week period. For details of these and to enquire about rides for your own group, please call and they will be happy to help.
