The Newt in Somerset, nr Bruton
Stunningly designed gardens with tree top walkway, own produce eateries, cider press & shop
This area of the West Country offers a host of journeys and destinations to suit every interest and cycling aspiration.
We provide an easy to follow, annotated GPS route that you will follow using a free, well established and cleverly designed, easy to use app on your smart phone.
With extensive local knowledge of the best cycling roads and a passion for promoting local businesses and attractions, we take joy in crafting you a customised route for your e-cycling experience, starting and ending at your accommodation or other departure point, taking in sites, viewpoints and coffee or lunch stops as you desire. We ensure a journey suitable for your fully charged high capacity battery.
How Far Can You Go?
We suggest you estimate cycling at 15kms/hour, so if you are on a 2hr experience, we can create a route of around 25 - 30kms which gives you time to stop off for a cup of coffee. For a half day tour, you could cover up to 60km, and a full day tour, up to 100kms. We are here to design a route that suits you, so don't let this worry you.
