    A small part of the entrance to the Hogwart's covered bridge was built in Swinley Forest for a scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) where Neville Longbottom chastises the horde.

    Great place for mountain bike trails. As of 2012 Parking is charged at £2 up to 4hours or £4 for the day. Riders can exchange the cost of parking for a £2 cycle permit available at look out reception.

    Great mountain bike trails. Green route suitable for almost anyone. Blue route is harder but ok for most. Will be back.

    Plenty of MTB fun all wrapped up in a chunk of Crown Estate forest, enough for all abilities. Edit: No permit required any more, but parking fees apply.

    Sections of Swinley Forest between 'the lookout' and Crowthorne Reservoir were used in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010) for the chase scene with the snatchers.

    New tracks built near the gully. Some awesome Berms, you'll need a lot of leg power tho as it's pretty flat

    Red trail is great. Blue a bit boring though.
