The South Devon area offers some great cycle trails where quiet, narrow lanes weave through lush green valleys, providing opportunities to discover many highlights not seen from the road.
The English Riviera provides a good base to work from with “cycle friendly” routes out from the resort in addition to many off-road tracks through Cockington Village and local woodland. Off-road and mountain bike tracks are also close by with Haldon Forest and Dartmoor within easy reach by car. With an ever-expanding link to the National Cycle Route and further links planned, now is the ideal time to explore on two wheels all that our area has to offer!
Cycle hire is available from several local bike shops, who will be happy to assist with all of your requirements. Pop into one of our Tourist Information Centres and pick up a list of the hire shops in the area.
The English Riviera also participates in Bike Week every June; an event which offers a full range of activities from demonstration days to family cycle rides and mountain bike tasters. For more information visit www.bikeweek.org.uk
We Recommend...
Cockington to Shiphay
A circular route mainly off road through lush green valleys. Your journey will begin in the Domesday village of Cockington and will take you through the backwater of Torquay.
Galmpton to Greenway
A very challenging off road route. Not for the faint hearted! You'll take on steep yet rewarding climbs through woodland and farmland. The views of the Dart are well worth the exercise.
