Devon Cycle Hire Ltd Named As The Best Activity On Dartmoor!

Devon’s biggest cycle hire company has been named as the place to go if you want the best activity on Dartmoor. In a national investigation, journalists from The Guardian newspaper scoured the country for the best outdoor activities on offer and found cycling with Devon Cycle Hire to be the best activity on Dartmoor. The cycle hire centre is situated directly on a traffic free trail which meanders through some of the most stunning scenery Devon has to offer and the views are spectacular.

This is high praise indeed as the company fought off stiff competition from the many other activity companies and organisations in Devon. With over 100 bikes as well as child seats, buggies, tag-a-longs, tandems and, of course, helmets, they are able to cater for any rider and have everything needed for a fantastic days cycling!


Bristol Boys and Girls Enjoy a Day on the Granite Way

Fifty schoolchildren from Bristol have been cycling Dartmoor’s stunning Granite Way with premier cycle hire firm Devon Cycle Hire Limited. The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed pedalling along the purpose built trail and completed an impressive thirteen miles of traffic free cycling together with their teachers and parent helpers.

Leading the ride was Devon Cycle Hire’s trained mountain bike leader, Peter Turner who said, “It’s great to take the children along the Granite Way because it’s level, easy cycling and there are no roads in sight so they can concentrate on having fun and taking in the spectacular scenery from the trail”.

The spectacular scenery includes of course the Meldon Viaduct and fantastic views of Okehampton Castle. The children described the bikes as “brilliant” and “really cool” and were happy to don a specialised helmet which many recognised as the helmet of choice for many pro riders.

“It’s really rewarding to see children out cycling and having fun”, said owner Karen Turner, “they were a great group and as they are already booked in again for next year we really look forward to seeing them then and having another fantastic day out on the trail”.
