There is a well surfaced cycle trail located right behind Edale House B&B. We also have secure bike storage and wash facilities for bicycles and a CYTECH cycle mechanic on site. Our new cycle wash area was completed recently and has full drainage, with its own dedicated retractable hose, bike clamp, AstroTurf around the sides and bike storage next door with stress matting. There is gated side access from the car park in front of the house. Please inform us before arrival if you will be bringing your own bikes. We make a nominal charge of £1 per day for Ebikes irrespective of use of power on site.

Looking to hire bikes while here?

Bike hire is available in our village, Parkend, from Dean Forest Cycles. They also offer guided cycle tours of the Forest, and you can even hire electric bikes for those less exercise-inclined!

We are also less than three miles from the excellent Cannop Cycle Centre. Here you can rent a bike from Pedalabikeaway and access a huge range of cycling trails for all ages and skills including safe off-road trails for children and advanced mountain bike trails. Maps are available although the most popular paths are very well signposted.

The Forest of Dean is a perfect destination for those looking for a cycling holiday. Short term visitors often regret that they did not stay longer to take advantage of all that is available!
