Family

Whatever your age, Trailnet can offer a number of healthy outdoor activities from our centres at Thorndon and Great Notley Country Parks. Whether you want to take your two-year-old for a ride in a bike-drawn carriage or bring the whole family along to search for hidden treasure, we can provide all you need.

Cycling

Our park-based cycle centres are ideal places for everyone from absolute beginners to experienced riders to enjoy off-road cycling.

Don’t have a bike or can’t get all the family bikes in the car? We hire a range of bikes for all ages, sizes and abilities, plus a selection of buggies, tagalongs and child seats so that everyone can take part. We also offer tandems and a range of tricycles for those that need some help to stay upright. For a full list of our bikes with details of prices and opening, check out our cycle hire page.

Can’t ride a bike? No problem, we can help with group and individual cycle lessons for all ages.

You can ride but don’t feel fit enough to make the most of your bike? To help you enjoy the social and fitness benefits of cycling, we offer a programme of weekly health rides for all abilities.

Geocaching

Combining the thrill of a treasure hunt with modern navigation tools and outdoor exercise in an attractive setting – geoacaching really does offer something for the whole family.

Whether you’re an experienced geocacher with your own equipment looking to add to your tally of caches or just want to try something different this weekend, our activity centres at Thorndon and Great Notley are the perfect places to head for.
