Where can I take my bike on Dartmoor?
You can cycle on public roads, byways and public bridlepaths, but there is not open access for bicycle across the moorland. There are miles of quiet lanes to explore at your own pace, but if you like pre planned routes the Dartmoor way 90-mile circular route will present you with a good few days cycling. Some local short day and half day rides are also available through information centres. The Granite Way from Okehampton and the Plym Valley Cycleway on the southwest edge of the National Park provide safe traffic free routes for families. If you are a keen off road cyclist or mountain biker the Dartmoor National Park Authority’s Off Road Cycling Map (available from Information Centres) will keep you and your bike amused for hours. For more information download Dartmoor National Park Authority’s Cycling leaflet or email hmvc@dartmoor-npa.gov.uk.
