About Weald Country Park
Located in South Weald in Essex, Weald Country Park is a 700 year-old, 500 acre country park. It's beautiful lakes, tree-lined avenues, and woodlands are the result of foresightful landscaping carried out in the 18th century when the park was owned by Hugh Smith, an ancestor of the Earls of Derby. Later, it was sold to Thomas Tower of Iver in Buckinghamshire and continued to be owned by the Tower family until 1946. The park will be the venue for the mountain biking events at the 2012 Summer Olympics. It is easily reached by road (M25 and A12) and by trains running from London's Liverpool Street station. During the Olympic Games, a temporary Mountain Bike course along with grandstands will be created within the Weald Country Park. Seating for 3,000 spectators will be made available along a course that takes riders through stunning woods and parkland. After the Games the temporary structures will be taken down and the Park returned to its original state.
