Enjoy Cycling Through North Devon and Exmoor

A Journey Beyond the Tarmac

There’s something timeless about exploring North Devon and Exmoor on two wheels. As you roll through this ever-shifting landscape, the air sharpens with the salt of the Atlantic and softens again as you glide beneath ancient woodland canopies. Cycling here isn’t simply about covering ground — it’s about breathing in a wilder rhythm of life, feeling the rise and fall of the land beneath your tires, and discovering the quiet moments that linger long after the ride ends.

Stunning Landscapes

In Lynton, Lynmouth, and their rugged surrounds, the spirit of adventure is stitched into every mile. Open moorland sprawls under vast skies, craggy cliffs plunge into restless seas, and quiet village lanes weave through rolling farmland. Each pedal stroke brings a new sensory experience: the low murmur of sheep grazing on high pastures, the sudden scent of heather and gorse, the thrill of a kestrel slicing through the breeze.

Freedom for Every Kind of Rider

Cyclists of every kind — from easygoing leisure riders to committed adventurers — will find a deep sense of freedom here. Exmoor’s varied terrain invites slow exploration and spontaneous detours. Smooth coastal stretches give way to bridleways threading through the hills, where the world feels remarkably distant and wonderfully close all at once.

A Connection to Land and Legacy

Above all, cycling across North Devon and Exmoor is about connection. To nature, to the centuries of history embedded in the land, and to the quiet resilience of communities that have flourished in this elemental corner of England. Whether you bring your own bike or hire one locally, the journey here promises much more than beautiful views — it offers a sense of belonging to a landscape carved by time and tide.
