Cycling / Electric Bike Weekends
Friday & Saturday nights, from £199 per person
Thirty miles of National Cycle Network Route 2 runs through the heart of West Dorset and there are many more miles of quiet country lanes and bridleways perfect for leisurely cycle touring. Join Martin Gershon from local tour company Marshwood Trails and discover a very special part of the country on two wheels.
And the best bit is that you don't need to worry about hills or headwinds as you will be riding a state of the art electric bike with a silent motor that provides assistance when you need it most. Possible routes during the weekend include Portland, a place which even today retains an atmosphere and identity all of its own, and the location of the sailing events at the 2012 Olympic Games, or Thomas Hardy country, where you can retrace the journeys Hardy himself cycled.
As well as stunning views and fascinating historical insights, there will be plenty of opportunities during the weekend to enjoy Dorset food and drink, whether it's a cream tea, a local ale, or a full Dorset experience supper.
