Hi

Can anybody recommend any campsites near cycle tracks as we want to get a cycle rack for our trailer this year and take the bikes, we have been to Ashbourne and on the Tissington trail before on hired bikes but dont know where to look for other sites, we would have to be able to get to the trails from the campsite and dont really fancy going on busy roads but quiet lanes would be ok.

Hopeing you can help as we fancy a week away at the end of august doing lots of biking, the rest of the summer already booked up.

Highfields camp site at Fenny Bentley has direct access to Tissington Trail. Nice site with small indoor pool. Clean facilities, but it did annoy us that we had to pay for showers, and also 20p for hot water for washing dishes.

We like the Forest of Dean for off road cycling. It is lovely there. We stayed at Doward Park camp site. Great site, but you do have to drive to get to the Forest of Dean (about 10/15 mins). Friends of ours have camped at Christchurch from which you can apparently cycle into the Forest of Dean on off road paths.

Cannock Chase is great for cycle trails. The C & C C site is right next to one, or Silvertrees, and the Forest Holidays site which is a very basic site. See here for Silvertrees & C & C C, I can't find a link for the Forest Holidays one.

In Cornwall we stayed at this one which is right next to the Mineral Tramway coast to coast cycle path, they hire out bikes as well.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Netherwood camp site just outside Chester has direct access onto the canal towpath which leads onto the rilaway path to Deeside and a riverside path back into Chester. About 20+ miles of off road cycling. The Caravan club site at fairoaks is also quite close to the canal towpath north of Chester but does require some on roas cycling to get to it.

Check out the www.cheshire.gov.uk/cycling site for more info and contact details will be available.

This one is just down the road from the Scarborough to Whitby cycle track, quite a basic site, very quiet, but lovely scenery.

Hi

Thanks for all the suggestions, the netherwood site is adult only so no good for me but the chesire cycling web pag was really good, found another site I like the look of, also im already a member of the C&CC so the cannock chase looks good, also put the Doward park in my virtual brochure for next year as its a bit far for the week this year as doing cornwall in july and also put the scarborough one in as well for next year as were already booked for st helen in the park near scarborough in april.


Thanks again for all the idea's and any more would be great

Thanks royell

At first I thought the site in wales only did caravans but they take TT, so its looking really good for August as its different to the sites where going on the rest of the year.

Hi Lizzy23

Where staying near the Dalby forest in April and the site where on has a cycle track on the estate, so it would be great if it conected to the forest, have had a look at a website and it looks really good, thanks for the tip.
