About This Activity
Bewl Water has 12½ miles of scenic cycling trails around the reservoir, mostly off-road and traffic-free. The full loop typically takes 2 to 3 hours at a relaxed pace. We also have a family-friendly route, a 3-mile out-and-back from the Bike Hire base (marked blue on our bike map, which you can download below). Bike hire is available daily from 10am, with the last hire at 2pm. All bikes must be returned by 4pm (or 3pm during winter). Helmets are included free of charge. Peak pricing (weekends and weekdays during school holidays): adult bike £30, child bike £15, child seat £8. Off-peak pricing (weekdays outside school holidays): adult bike £15, child bike £7.50, child seat £4. Booking in advance is recommended. The full cycle route is open from Monday 13th April.
