Little legs are also catered for, with a selection of cycle skills tracks to impress even the most discerning mini-riders.

Cycling options

Take a gentle half-hour spin along the coast, or a four-day exploration of our back-country roads, or something in between.  The climate is ideal for year-round exploring, and almost any type of bike can be hired.
