Woolacombe, EX34 7BQ
Exploring Woolacombe and the surrounding North Devon coast by bicycle is one of the most rewarding ways to spend a day during your stay, and Woolacombe Bike Hire makes it easy by offering a good range of well-maintained bikes and accessories for hire at sensible prices right in the heart of the village. Whether you want to cruise along the seafront, venture up into the hinterland above the bay or simply get the kids rolling along the promenade, the team will sort you out with exactly the right bikes for your plans.
The hire fleet includes a good range of sizes and styles to suit riders of all ages and abilities. Beach cruisers and hybrid bikes are ideal for relaxed coastal riding, while bikes with a wider range of gears are available for those planning to tackle some of the steeper routes in the surrounding hills. Child bikes, trailers and tag-alongs are also available, making this a genuinely family-friendly operation that can kit out a group of any size and composition.
The North Devon coast offers some wonderful cycling routes once you are kitted out and ready to go. The lanes above Woolacombe offer sweeping views over the bay on a clear day, while quieter roads through Mortehoe and out towards Morte Point reward the climb with scenery that is simply impossible to put a price on. For a more relaxed ride, the quiet country lanes through Georgeham and out towards Croyde follow gentle gradients through beautiful rural scenery with almost no traffic.
Helmets are available to hire, and the team can offer basic advice on local routes and conditions to help you make the most of your time in the saddle. Hire is available by the hour or the half-day, and advance booking is strongly recommended during the summer holidays when bikes can be in short supply.
Getting out on two wheels is one of the best ways to explore North Devon at your own pace.
