Walkers
 Walkers are always welcome on The Hurtwood. We have 14 official car parks, but please remember vehicles are parked at your own risk, and do not leave any valuables in you vehicle.
There are over 60 miles of paths and bridleways, some steep paths more suitable for fitter walkers whilst there are plenty of less hilly areas if you wish to go for a more gentle stroll.
Horse Riding
 Horse riders are also welcome on The Hurtwood. Please keep to the existing network of trails where possible, and avoid Mountain Bike trails. Horse boxes are welcome in the car parks, though the entrance to car park no.1 (Holmbury Hill) has a steep incline.
To see the locations of car parks, and how to access them, please go to our Location page. Vehicles are parked at your own risk, and do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.
If you wish to avoid hunting days, please check our event calendar here.

Code of Conduct
As more and more riders discover the Hurtwood is a great place to ride, the Hurtwood Control Trust has developed a Code of Conduct. Below is a short list of advice that ensures you, and the others around you, have a great time taking in the 'air & exercise':
 Only cycle at speeds safe for the trail ahead. You don’t know what is around the next corner. Please be aware that dogs are allowed to exercise freely, without leads, on The Hurtwood.- Make sure your presence is known, by calling out a greeting if approaching walkers from the rear.
- Always give way to horse riders and walkers.
- Do not cycle in groups of more than 6.
- Be respectful and courteous to other users.
- Choose your route carefully, especially when the ground is wet, to minimise erosion.
- Avoid harsh braking and skidding, thus reducing trail damage.
- Riders must not create new trails, please use the existing network.
- Make sure your bike is safe to ride and be prepared for emergencies.
- Wear a helmet and use protective clothing.
- In an emergency call 999
