You see the world differently from the saddle of a bike. So, next time out don’t jump into your car, try one of these amazing trips…

Enjoy the splendour of Dartmoor up close on a full or half day guided tour. These superb e-bikes make cycling fun –even on the hills.

The Drake’s Trail has something for all age groups and fitness levels, starting with the new off-road cycling section between Tavistock and Plymouth. You can also download podcasts from the website for a guided audio tour!

Dartmoor Cycles are based right next to the start of Drake’s Trail. They will advise you on the route and will also introduce you to the latest downhill cycling.

A Place to Hire Bikes or Enjoy Coffee! Our cycle hire centre has traffic free direct access to The Granite Way, providing quality bikes, friendly service and helpful advice.

These routes offer walkers and cyclists some of the most varied and rewarding routes in the South West, as well supporting the villages of the Valley along the way. Cycle routes suitable for more experienced riders.

Cycle Okehampton to Lydford 11 miles, 18 km, via Meldon and Lake Viaducts. It is mostly traffic-free on a former railway line. Cycle hire is available here.

Bodmin to Wadebridge is 8 miles; Wadebridge to Padstow is 6 miles. Again, this is a disused railway line following the route of the beautiful river Camel that is tidal. Bike hire available here

Highly Recommend– Tripadvisor.co.uk 2025
We had a wonderful experience at Woodovis. The site and facilities are spotless. The team were lovely and welcoming. Things like the snack shack and ordering freshly baked goods were such a bonus. They were very helpful after a break down en route. Would highly recommend Woodovis.
Amazing experience, good facilities, peaceful atmosphere– Tripadvisor.co.uk 2025

Fantastic site!! – Tripadvisor.co.uk 2025
We spent two weeks at this beautiful site. Facilities were immaculate, site was very well maintained , wardens were very helpful, we had most dealings with Andy and Nicky who went above and beyond for us. Would definitely recommend this site to anyone, so peaceful and 45 minutes away from some stunning beaches.
Happy holiday– Tripadvisor.co.uk 2025
We stayed in the cottage at Woodovis and it’s quite possibly one of the best places we’ve stayed in. It smelled lovely when we arrived and was very clean. There was a welcome gift for both us and our dogs which was a really nice touch. The cottage has it’s own little garden with beautiful roses growing, it’s perfect if you have dogs, it’s nice to be able to let them have a similar freedom to what they would have at home.
Absolutely Outstanding Stay at Woodovis Park– Tripadvisor.co.uk 2025
Our experience at Woodovis Park was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. The facilities are amazing and the indoor heated swimming pool was a particular highlight, perfect for a relaxing swim whatever the weather.
Tranquillity and serenity the perfect place to unwind and rest– Tripadvisor.co.uk 2025
A gem hidden down the end of a beautiful long entrance road. Peaceful and relaxing with lots of wildlife to see. Facilities are of a high standard a shop that has everything you’re likely to need. Wardens are very friendly and welcoming, this was our 3rd stay and we will keep returning!
