I'm starting to plan next years road trip from July to August time for around 3 weeks.

I want to fly into Bristol and go round cornwall abit because there are wicked trails and I love The Track bike park. From Cornwall any reccomendations from wales to scotland all on the west side mostly to go ride and camp/B+B. Since I left home the bike parks have increased in the UK. I have been to Afan and Coed y Brenin. I'm an Enduro and XC lover.

Cheers for any suggestions.

Bike Park Wales is ace, but book early for uplift.

I would recommend getting out of Devon and Cornwall before the school holidays start at the end of July.

https://www.woodysbikepark.com is a new addition for Cornwall.

Cardinham/lanhydrock & grogley

Gawton although there is no uplift for the foreseeable future

Quantocks/Exmoor/Dartmoor for some big natural rides

I don’t go much north of bristol....

Leave the car at home, a road trip by bike is great fun.

Anyway you can fly from the south to Scotland? Split it in two?
