Danny Hart’s Descend Bike Park looks to be heading towards its final days, as Forestry England do not intend to renew its clause.
Currently, the lease for the bike park expires in August 2028, and with ongoing forestry operations taking place, there are no plans for extension.
Descend is a highly popular riding destination near Bishop Auckland in County Durham, and sees people from all over the UK travel to it to ride it’s trails and utilise it’s uplift service.
Losing Descend will be a great loss for the MTB community, and we’re sure it won’t go down without a fight. With just under 2 years remaining, will there be a possibility that negotiations can be made to save the bike park? Lets hope so.
