Exmoor, North Devon & the Quantocks Off-Road Bike Routes

Explore Exmoor and North Devon on your mountain bike with this laminated, waterproof Exmoor map. With 10 clearly-marked routes this easy-to-use map will help you discover the best of Exmoor and North Devon off road. From sand-dunes, surf beaches and rocky cliffs of the coast, through wooded hills and green-pastured valleys to the heather and tawny-grasses of the high moors; for such a small area Exmoor contains an extraordinary variety of scenery. Add the pubs and cafes of friendly country towns, and the fabled Devon cream teas of village tea-shops, all linked by narrow, high-banked lanes which see little traffic that much of their surface is covered by moss and grass, and a network of forest tracks and ancient green lanes and bridleways, and you have one of the secret jewels of the UK`s off-road riding scene.But what you won`t get – with one or two very obvious exceptions – are bone-juddering gnarly descents, so if you`re looking for the โ€Oh my Godโ€ factor, this isn`t the place. Instead, you have a collection of superbly varied and rideable routes – from the almost flat circuit of Braunton and the Burrows to the challenging climbs and long, open descents of some of the inland routes. Outside of Exmoor`s National Park, the Quantock Hills deserve a special mention. With views out over the waters of the Bristol Channel, this area of interconnected ridges above steeply wooded combes is covered with trails that could have been designated for off-road biking. But when the sun is shining on the great ridge of the Quantocks from Crowcombe Park Gate towards Beacon Hill, or high up on Dunkery Beacon in the midst of Exmoor – one thing is for sure – this is as close to off-road riding heaven as it gets.
