Exmoor Adventures Ltd offers a mountain biking experience that delivers pulse-raising thrills and remarkable natural beauty set against the rugged backdrop of Exmoor National Park in southwest England. This full-day ride is designed for intermediate to advanced riders ready to tackle 30 to 40 kilometers of varied singletrack trails, climbing around 4,000 feet through some of the region’s most striking terrain.
Starting in Porlock Weir, perched on the edge of Exmoor’s diverse landscape, riders meet their expert guides who tailor the route each day to current weather and group ability. The dynamic courses navigate hills such as Selworthy, Horner, Ley Hill, and Porlock Hill. On favorable days, the route even reaches towards Dunkery Beacon, the highest point in the area, offering panoramic vistas over sweeping moorland and ancient woodland.
Exmoor’s terrain is defined by dramatic gritstone outcrops, heather-covered plateaus, and kettle ponds formed during the last glacial period. Riders pass through pockets of native oak forest and may glimpse red deer or buzzards riding the thermals. The park's challenging topography combined with technical singletrack and sustained climbs make the adventure equally rewarding and demanding.
What sets Exmoor Adventures Ltd apart is its deep local knowledge and focus on rider experience—guides Dan and Jack carry British Cycling Level 3 certifications and adapt the day’s itinerary to make the ride engaging and safe. With options to rent Specialized mountain bikes and a mid-ride stop at a local tea garden, the trip blends physical challenge with a welcoming, social atmosphere.
Whether you come with your own bike or rent one, this guided adventure showcases some of England’s finest off-road riding within a National Park known for its ecological richness and cultural heritage. Exmoor Singletrack is an essential day out for riders seeking to connect with wild landscapes on two wheels.
