Britain’s magical waterland is a shimmering lattice of rivers and open broads, complemented by a hinterland of winding paths. Criss-crossing the land these trails are best explored on two wheels. Broadland Cycle Hire have in-depth local knowledge, giving you the richest experience of the Broads National Park, whatever the time of year. They have cycles to hire for everyone, including adult tricycles, tag-alongs, dog buggies, tandems, hybrids, mountain bikes and e-bikes. Plus helmets, baskets, locks and pumps so all you have to do is turn up! Though do note – pre-booking is essential from October to March.

Cycling is healthy, relaxing, eco-friendly and fabulous value for money. It’s a wonderful way to travel off the water, moving peacefully among the wildlife rich habitats of this extraordinary landscape. It’s a special place of quiet lanes and gently undulating countryside, where, travelling car-free, you’ll be alive to the sounds around you, the whirr of your wheels, wind in the reeds and nature’s wild harmonies.

Broadland Cycle Hire is part of the network of cycle hire points throughout the Broads National Park, supported by the Broads Authority, who produce fantastic route maps showing all landmarks, nature reserves, churches, pubs and tearooms. There’s even a stretch out to the coast at Horsey. With links to off-road routes connecting with the Bure Valley Railway path and National Cycle Route 1, via North Walsham and Aylsham, they cover a range of distances to suit energy levels and experience.
