For a gentle cycling holiday, the Somerset Levels and Moors, provide a beautiful, rustic landscape; criss-crossed with small dykes or 'rhynes' and dotted with picturesque villages and towns.

For those who like more of a challenge, there are the varied ranges of hills and forests such as the Mendips, the Quantocks,  Exmoor and the Forest of Avon Community Forest - come and explore some of the best mountain bike trails in the country!
