Perched along the rugged North Devon coast, Porlock Weir is the gateway to Exmoor Adventures Ltd’s standout offering: the Exmoor E-Bike Safari. This three-hour guided experience cuts through one of England’s most scenic landscapes, blending the majesty of coastal views, ancient woodlands, and pastoral villages with the smooth hum of electric mountain bikes. Tailored for beginners, the safari makes the challenging terrain of Exmoor accessible and rewarding for riders of all skill levels.
Starting at the Old Bus Garage in Porlock Weir, the route winds through the steep but manageable paths of Porlock Hill and sweeps across the rolling moorlands capped by Dunkery Beacon, the highest point in the area. Riders glide past historic villages like Selworthy, whose traditional Cotswold-style cottages anchor the countryside in deep-rooted human history, and through Horner Woods, where towering ancient oaks and hollies create a cool, dappled canopy.
Wildlife is a highlight on this ride: Exmoor Ponies, an iconic and rare native breed, freely roam the moor, while red deer cautiously appear in shaded clearings. Seasonal sightings occasionally include white-tailed eagles soaring overhead or porpoises bobbing offshore. The e-bikes themselves, Specialized Tero hardtails, provide power assistance that flattens climbs and opens up longer routes without exhausting riders.
Exmoor Adventures Ltd stands out in the region by combining expert local knowledge with quality cycling gear and small group sizes, ensuring every guest experiences the landscape’s rugged beauty without being overwhelmed. Whether weaving through coastal trails or stopping to admire expansive views, the safari offers a unique blend of nature, history, and accessible adventure.
Ideal for those new to electric mountain biking or looking to add an active dimension to their visit, this safari delivers an authentic taste of Exmoor’s wild charm, all while gently nudging your fitness and curiosity forward.
