HIRE CENTRE
All the info you'll ever need for cycling in the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds are a cycling mecca, with hundreds of traffic free lanes, rolling countryside, well maintained off-road tracks and plenty of watering holes along the way.
Far Peak is situated in the middle of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) with cycling routes running right past our driveway, including the National Cycle Network.
What about the 'Wolds' - is it very hilly?
We'll level with you...... there are quite a few hills around our parts, but they don't go on forever and most of them are not too steep either. Far Peak is situated between the Coln and Leach valleys and there are some great routes following the rivers. We are also only 10 miles from South Cerney Lakes near Cirencester, which has plenty of child friendly routes around the lakes and rivers.
Who do we cater for?
As most of the routes around the Cotswolds are on small traffic free lanes and tracks, it is a great place for families and groups to enjoy the countryside. We have popped a few route suggestions on our website for you but there is plenty of scope to shorten, lengthen or bypass trickier, harder gradients without having to ever ride on a major road. Our Hire centre bikes are aimed at adults and children age 10+ but we do also hire Tag-A-Longs and trailers for smaller children.
Delivery and Collection Charges
We service many holiday cottages and home stays around the Cotswolds and deliver/collect the bikes to a safe place at the property for a small fee. We can deliver up to 6 bikes at a time within a 10 mile radius of our base at Far Peak (GL54 3AP).
PLEASE NOTE: Bikes on delivery will be subject to a 2 day minimum hire period. If you book a single day, you will be charged for the additional days hire once delivered. We also cannot deliver our 'Rad Rhino ebikes' as they do not fit on our trailers.
All bikes can be booked through our online booking system 48 hours in advance, to give our team a chance to arrange a delivery and collection. If you require bikes sooner, then you will have to book and collect them directly from our base at Far Peak.
