How long for?

Do you want static camp with routes around, or moving on?

Are you willing to travel by car from site to a good ride?

The new forest can be nice, as long as you get descent weather.

 

[RiflemanSmith]

Cheers for the replies.
A week maybe two static camp with routes around.
Just cycling distance.
Any package deals?

I would probably look for a forest based one.
New Forest, prob largest area and plenty of campsites in it.
Thetford Forest, Flatish if you don't like hills.
Kielder Forest, Large forest but I'm not sure how many tracks run through it.
Just to name a few.

I was going to suggest the New Forest too.. Scenic and flat iirc

Don't go Matlock, hills are unbelievably harsh

Cheers guys.

May be worth checking out centre parcs ok not under canvas, self catering log cabin and you have to park the car once unloaded and either walk or use a bike,my daughter went in july had a great time but they took their own bikes due to the extreme rental cost of the parcs one's

Trouble is the price! ££££'s

If OH and son are competent cyclists then come down to Mid Cornwall. Plenty of on/off road trails. If either are less competent, then I would go to New Forest.

Thats the bad bit but she did say it was a nice safe enviornment for the kids to pedal about in without her or their dad needing to go with them, so my view worth it just for that !
