Cycling in Lancashire

Quiet Lanes and Exhilarating Cycling Rides

If your walking boots can't get you around quick enough, why not explore more of Lancashire by bike? Bring your own or hire when you're here.

From quiet lanes and off road cycle trails to the adrenaline pumping peaks and troughs of moorland routes, cycling in Lancashire is accessible to everyone.

Cycle west to the flat coastal plains, where you will find a network of rural lanes linking attractive villages and farm land. The east of the county becomes more challenging, as you climb up into the Bowland and Pennine Hills or follow the winding river valleys of the Lune and Ribble for scenic journeys and stunning landscapes. Pedal to the centre of the British Isles at Dunsop Bridge for a great family bike rides or go off-road through the woodland of Gisburn Forest. You don't even have to bring your own bike in Blackpool, since being named as one of the UK's Cycle Towns it recently installed a new bike hire scheme it now offers hundreds of bikes to rent 24/7 from convenient hubs around the town.
