South West England Mountain Bike Routes

The South West offers some of the best mountain biking routes, with a mix of forest trails, rolling hills, and challenging descents. Ride through Puddletown Woods, enjoy the technical climbs of Triscombe, and explore the stunning landscapes of the Quantock Hills. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or new to the area, the South West has trails to suit all abilities.

To help you navigate these incredible routes, I highly recommend Nick Cotton’s South West Mountain Biking – Quantocks, Exmoor, Dartmoor — a fantastic guide to the area’s best trails. I’ve also mapped out my favourite rides in the region, so you can easily find and explore these incredible trails using the interactive map below.
