Exmoor Trails
- Exmoor has over 350 miles of bridleways open to cyclists across both the Somerset and Devon sides of the national park. Routes range from pleasant beginner rides to rough, rocky, technical terrain for advanced and expert riders.
- The Devon coast and Brendon Common offer some of the most dramatic riding in the park: the descent into Lynmouth, the Doone Valley tracks, and the exposed moorland above Countisbury. Inland, the Dunkery Beacon plateau and Exe Valley provide quieter, more remote riding away from the main visitor hubs.
