Great cycling activity for a couple, families or a group of friends. The cycle hire centre is next to the Barnstaple station. Would recommend to reserve bikes first to avoid the disappointment. Their Northern trial cycling path is 6.5 miles and the southern trial 14.5 miles. More information can be found in their website, https://www.tarkabikes.co.uk/
