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 "Oh my
God" 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.
