Tour of Exmoor - 3 days / 3 nights
We are based in the very heart of the stunning Exmoor National Park, and over the past two years have been perfecting our "Tour of Exmoor". This tour has been designed to incorporate the best of Exmoor's beauty, nature and culture, as we know there is more to a cycling holiday then being in the saddle all day.
Our 45 mile route is incorporates sections of the marked Exmoor cycle route, one of the most dramatic stages of the Tour of Britain. Our tour provides participants the chance to visit the harbour village of Lynmouth, journey on a historic cliff railway to Lynton, enjoy spectacular views from the highest point on Exmoor, and spend an afternoon in the historic market and castle town of Dunster. There is also an excellent chance to see wild deer and Exmoor Ponies as you cycle along.
You can enjoy this as a self led holiday at any time. You will be supported by our family run team who will greet and brief you and transfer your luggage. On completion of the course there is a complementary cream tea, and each day you will be supplied with drinks and energy bars.
The Tour of Exmoor route is hilly in parts, and to compensate for this some days cycling are shorter than others. This tour is designed such that it can be undertaken by anyone with a reasonable fitness level. Please e-mail for details of a selection of shorter, easier routes available.
