Directions
- Foxhill is situated 4 miles west of Swindon on the minor road between Baydon and Wanborough, just to the north of the M4 Motorway. From the M4 at Junction 15 follow the A419 towards Swindon, at the first exit turn right onto B4192 to Aldebourne. After 2 miles turn left at Liddington Cross Roads towards Baydon. After 1 mile you reach a crossroads by the Shepherds Rest Public House, turn left and the track is half mile on the right hand side.
History
- Foxhill Moto Park has been established as a major Moto Cross venue
since 1983, 25 years ago, during which time it has played host to
events at every level of the sport. With riders of all grades, from
Youth, through amateur Adult club levels, to Classic and full on
Professional World Championship rounds for individual and team glory,
each learning to cope with the unique demands of one of the Worlds’
toughest and most respected MX tracks. Termed only recently in T&M
X News, as the “Fields of Dreams”, with perhaps the finest accolade of
all pronounced by no other than, multi World Champion Stefen Everts as
having an atmosphere on race days as, “Second to None”. From its early
beginnings with the Thamesdown MCC, each and everyone, competitor and
spectator alike, the potential has been obvious. Each and every
following lease holder, including the BSMA most recently, having added
something to that potential. But it is our belief that the “Best is yet
to come”. During 2008, and onward the amenity will be further developed
and improved, the eventual aim being to provide a country park style
facility that will just happen to have the United Kingdoms finest Moto
Cross circuit within its bounds.
