Grand Western Canal

Cycling

cycling along the canal

Cycling is becoming a popular way for families and individuals to explore the Country Park. Cyclists can take in much of the changing scenery along the Canal in a relatively short period of time.


To encourage safer and more considerate use of the towpath by cyclists, walkers and anglers the Grand Western Canal Country Park Ranger Service has launched a Towpath Code of Conduct image - PDF icon (219KB - pdf help). The code explains the behaviour expected of all towpath users and reminds people that horse riding and motorcycle use are not permitted on the towpath.

Circular Cycle Routes

Circular routes are possible using the surrounding minor road network and the disused railway line between Tiverton and Manley Lane. For more information about cycle routes in the area please contact:

Also the National Cycle Network Route 3 follows much of the Canal. For more information on this please contact:
