Although the trails shown are primarily
walks, if you take your bike, the forestry commission are happy for
you to make up your own route using the many forest roads although
they also ask you ride with consideration, slowing down for both
walkers and horse riders. And after a busy day exploring the woods,
relax in the picnic area down by the river - you can even cook up a
feast on one of the BBQs which are free to use!

Ferry Services
There are a number of ferries in
the county which all provide services to passengers on foot,
whilst a few take vehicles as well.
Some operate all the year round
on a timetable that varies with the seasons and some are
services that do not operate during the winter months. Bikes can
generally be carried on all ferries. On foot ferries, however,
with smaller capacities, if a large number of bikes need to be
carried it is advisable to ring ahead to the operator to
confirm.
