Electric bike cycling holiday in Devon

Description of Electric bike cycling holiday in Devon

There’s nothing nicer than a pedal around Devon with well-deserved clotted cream teas or pints of local cider always best devoured during or at the end of a day’s cycling to truly appreciate both experiences.

The UNESCO North Devon Biosphere reserve, in particular, is well worth investigating further and promises mile upon mile of sand dunes as well as peaceful rural lanes, free from cars, interspersed with traditional thatched pubs and tucked away cafes, that only the locals frequent.

The thing about Devon’s beautiful rolling hills and longer stretches of coastline is that they can be a bit of a slog for casual cyclists which might mean you’re too tired to enjoy yourself out of the saddle. One way to take the pressure off the pedals on some of the steeper hillsides and over the longer distances is to embark on a tour by electric bike.

Remember when you were learning and someone ran alongside giving you a push? That’s what an electric bike feels like. On steep hills you might even be tempted to wear your underwear over your trousers!

This one week self-guided electric bike cycling holiday in Devon will suit moderately fit adults, and includes: self catering accommodation, a full orientation, bike hire with safety equipment, route notes, maps, rescue back up and the full benefit of carefully researched local knowledge.

Prices are per person but based on two people sharing at our multi-award winning farm accommodation near Winkleigh for one week between April- mid July and September through to mid October. (Excludes extras like pub lunches and taking bikes on the train, please enquire for single prices.)

You can also tailor the itinerary to suit a short break or long weekend (enquire for prices) and swap days around. And you’re in charge of the distances. Most of the days can be shortened and still take you to fun places - linger over that lunch!
