This is your chance to ride three very different landscapes in one unique guided trip. In 2024 we launched our ‘Best of the South West’ adventure with all the usual ingredients of our popular multi-day trips.
From the wild moors and tors of Dartmoor, we take in the steep sided valleys of coastal Exmoor, before we wrap it all up on the rocky red coombes of Quantocks.

** Three big areas in one trip – The format **
We believe this trip has never been attempted before and with our careful planning of the hotels and time of year, an exhilarating and equally relaxing experience will be had. Here’s the summary of the itinerary:
- Meet and greet Friday night at the exquisite Moorland Hotel in Haytor on Dartmoor
- Ride Dartmoor on Saturday and relax for a second night at the Moorland
- After a hearty breakfast on Sunday, we drive over to Exmoor, drop the cars at our next base, enjoy a light lunch harbour side and head out to ride the awesome singletrack and natural descents of Exmoor
- Sunday evening will be spent watching the sunset over the sea as we dine and reflect on two superb days on two very different national parks
- After our last hearty breakfast, we have the short drive to the Quantocks and enjoy a day on the red rock of the jewel of Somerset with its countless swooping combes and cleeves
** Your choice of bike **
These routes can be ridden on all kinds of mountain bike depending on your personal choice. In the right hands hardtail bikes would be sufficient, and we increasingly see e-bikes in our groups – as well as full suspension trail and enduro bikes. All are welcome. Each climb, and each descent, is taken at the speed that’s right for you, and we manage our groups carefully to ensure no-one feels left behind.
Ideally, you will have your own suitable full suspension modern ‘all mountain’ / ‘trail’ mountain bike:
- 120 mm of suspension travel with modern geometry is the bare minimal for this trip
- 140-160 mm of suspension travel on an ‘all-mountain’ / ‘trail’ bike would be perfect
- Electric mountain bikes are welcome
- Hybrid and budget bicycles are not suitable for this 3 day trip
