Family Cycle- Paths in Moors Valley Country Park

A really nice family friendly cycle routes are within Moors Valley Country Park. Located on the Dorset/Hampshire county border.
I have previously posted a YouTube video of some of the routes. The official website http://www.moors-valley.co.uk/visit/cycle.asp details and describes the cycle routes as follows:



There are many miles of paths and tracks through Moors Valley Country Park and Forest so why not bring your own bikes or you can hire one from the Cycle Hire Centre.
You are welcome to cycle on any of the gravelled paths however the best paths for cycling are waymarked; there is a central 2-mile circuit with the option to take three additional loops to extend your ride to 6 miles. The routes are waymarked on the ground with round posts with the appropriate coloured band. A copy of the cycle trails map is available from the Visitor Centre at the beginning of your visit.
We can also offer orienteering by bike on our permanent orienteering course in the forest. Map packs are available from the Information Point in the Visitor Centre; priced £1.00 each.
Please Note: cycling is not permitted on the Play Trail or the Tree Top Trail, the Lookout, near the Visitor Centre or around Moors Lake. However the majority of the Nature Trail is flat and suitable for cycling. Cyclists are reminded that they should ring their bells when approaching pedestrians and slow down when passing.
Ranger-led Cycle Events
The Rangers organise many cycle rides throughout the year, from introductory courses for adults who want to get back in the saddle to more demanding off-road events for regular riders. They also run mountain bike events for children during the school holidays. Please look at the events page for details of forthcoming walks and cycle rides by date.
