Our partners Pedalabikeaway offer on-site bike hire which means there is traffic free access to the trail network. They have a wide selection of Whyte bikes available - including leisure bikes, hard-tail mountain bikes, full-suspension mountain bikes and e-bikes.
There are also various options available for families, including junior bikes, child seats, trailers and tagalongs.
