Mountain Biking and Road Cycling

in Exmoor from the Coleridge Way Cottages

Exmoor is a fantastic location for cycling and mountain biking. The tour of Britain (the milk race) has stages that have run close to us for the past two years. The Iron Man run is also close and with over 400 miles of bridleways it has some challenging and spectacular off road runs.

We are recognised by the English tourist board (EnjoyEngland) as Welcoming Cyclists so we have specific facilities to accommodate bikes and their riders, such as a power washer, washing and drying facilities and secure storage

We have two cottages Coleridge Cottage and Wordsworth Cottage both with double beds. Wordsworth can be converted into two single beds by request. Both cottages can be booked together to form one large cottage which sleeps 4 people, as they have secure interconnecting doors.

Mountain Biking

Exmoor is a fantastic location for Mountain Biking with over 400 miles of bridleways. It has some of the most challenging and spectacular scenery in the country.

As well as the endless bridleways, Exmoor also has some fantastic downhill courses. In Leigh Barton woods in front of the cottages there is a fabulous Combe Sydenham downhill mountain bike track. Contact Combe Sydenham Country Park the estate owners for more details.

Exmoor’s growing popularity with mountain bikers has sparked off events such as the Exmoor Explorer Mountain Bike Marathon and the British Heat Foundation Randone.

Exmoor National Park Authority offers a graded cycle map to help you plan your visit and is available to buy online. They also provide information on codes of conduct for cyclists.

Road Cycling

The Tour of Britain (former Milk race) passed very close by in 2007 in 2008, which demonstrates the high standard of road cycling on Exmoor.

Exmoor also has its own permanent Tour of Britain route of approximately 60 miles. The cycling element of the Iron Man event which is based at Wimbleball Lake comes close by as does the Exmoor Beast event in early November.

Cycling from Coleridge Way Cottages

You can cycle straight from the front door of the cottages onto terrain that is tough yet rewarding. There are numerous quiet roads and winding country lanes provide fantastic scope for exploration. Exmoor has something for every level.
