You can cycle on bridleways but not footpaths, usually marked by a roundle or waymarkers found on fence posts or at gateways. Bridleways do not have stiles. These can be used by both walkers and cyclists too. Our biggest bridleway runs around Cockington via Occombe and Gallows Gate. There are dedicated cycle routes throughout Scadson Woods, this needs to be booked in advance through our partner Scadson Free Ride.
The Cockington Valley loop is a 9.6 km trail with varied terrain that takes you through lush countryside including beautiful woodland, rolling Devon farmland and historic parkland. Recommended points to start the trail are Cockington Cycle Hub or at Occombe Farm. This route is very hilly in sections and is not recommended for young children. There is a shorter easier 3 km route more suited to small children. Download a copy of the Cycling Torbay Leaflet. The Geopark Trail is the orange one. An adventure awaits!
