Cycling

Time to plan your next cycling adventure. Why not hire a bike, take a lesson, go downhill, bring the family, get your friends together or just come on your own and enjoy our many miles of cycle trails here in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.

Cycling is one of our most popular activities, with opportunities for both novice and experienced mountain bikers, families and adrenaline junkies. You can hire bikes from Pedalabikeaway or Dean Forest Cycles, and take a look at the wide variety of options they provide, plus there are guided rides, training and uplift services across the area.

The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley provides varied terrain and scenery for cyclists, and with an extensive network of off-road paths and countryside roads.

Families can use the popular off-road 9 mile circular Family Cycle Trail and stay safely away from traffic and see some lovely scenery.

For keen mountain bikers the downhill tracks provide wild opportunities with an excellent dedicated off-road area starting from the Cannop Cycle Centre.

Road riders can look forward to winding country lanes and short hill climbs.
