Exmoor Enduro: The Best Enduro Trails that Exmoor has to Offer
About
Aimed at advanced riders, we'll guide you on the very best enduro trails that Exmoor has to offer, both natural and man-made! This is a day of steep and technical trails, aimed at experienced riders, led by a British Cycling Level 3 Guides.
Exmoor Adventures is based at Porlock Weir, and we know this area of Exmoor like the back of our hands. We'll link up some awesome trails and give you a fantastic day of riding!
Mountain Biking within Exmoor National Park is one of our most popular activities on offer. The area hosts over 400 miles of bridleways which run over beautiful moorlands, through scenic valleys and luscious woodlands, making Exmoor one of the premier locations for mountain biking in the UK, though it’s still nice and quiet, so we don’t tell everyone!
It is recommended that you come along with a full-suspension mountain bike, though hardtail are always welcome! If you have an E-Bike, check out our 'E-Bike Enduro Day' to see if we have any of those running, if not get in touch and we'll squeeze you in.
On an average day, we would expect to cover 30-40km, with 3-4,000ft of climbing. We'll usually stop for lunch at one of our local tea rooms, or a quick stop at a local cafe if you're looking for maximum trail time!
