Support
Cycling is the ideal way to explore Wiltshire’s glorious countryside. It’s easy to see why so much of the county is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty - rolling hills with spectacular views, peaceful wooded river valleys and prehistoric sites abound.
Wiltshire Council have developed a cycling proficiency programme, Bikeability designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today’s busy roads and encourage children to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Where to ride
Cycling in Wiltshire's peaceful, glorious countryside will show you rural England at its very best. The Wiltshire cycleway threads its way through Wiltshire along quiet country lanes and passes many of the county's most attractive places to visit. The 160 mile cycle route is supplemented by a network of shorter loops offering a wide choice of distance and terrain.
