Friendly and knowledgeable staff are on hand to offer help and advice and can repair small mechanical problems or fully service your bike.With a combination of water, woodlands and high moorland, the area has become a unique place for wildlife and cycling is permitted on bridleways, not on footpaths or open moorland. To help you plan your route, the nearby visitor centre provides maps and guides of the area while the refreshment kiosk serves a range of tasty treats. Ranger services, toilets (including disabled facilities) and a picnic area are also on site.Terms and conditions of cycle hire: Proof of ID with photograph is required for each booking.
