Wessex Accessible Cycling Club (WACC) are a CTC affiliated group. The centre is funded by Big Lottery and is a joint project run by both the local council, the Christchurch and East Dorset Partnership, and the Forestry Commission. It contains a Visitor Centre with a Restaurant, a Child's Play Trail, a Minature Railway and most importantly in excess of 20 miles of traffic free cycle routes.

WACC were established in 2008 and purchased a number of cycles through a variety of grants that were available to them. The centre initially organised rides for anyone who could not ride a conventional bike, from a variety of locations throughout east Dorset and transported adapted cycles to these points. The logistics of this however proved quite difficult so in 2014 they formed a partnership with Moors Valley Country Park and Forest.
The partnership enabled them to store their adapted cycles at the park and run their rides from there, which proved to be more successful and led to the Moors Valley Country Park Centre being established. For more information please go to the Wessex Accessible Cycling Club Website.

Moors Valley Country Park and Forest is located on the Dorset / Hampshire border and offers cyclists of all-abilities a wealth of forest paths to cycle and explore, from level and smooth routes through to challenging slopes and bumby ones. Please consult the forest trails map.

If you are unable to commit the time to volunteer for this centre, have a fundraising idea, know of any grants that may be available, or know a great way to promote WACC, please contact them.
