Lets get your future cyclists off to a great start
Cycling is an important life skill and a healthy way to explore outdoors. We want to help the next generation’s cyclists learn to ride, starting their lifelong love of cycling in beautiful natural surroundings. That's why we are delighted to offer free-to-hire balance bikes to our visitors.
Just turn up and ride
The balance bikes and helmets are available to hire from the Reception. You don’t need to book anything, and the balance bikes are free to use - just turn up and get going!
Explore on wheels
There are plenty of paths to follow through the gardens and the wide open space of the Orchard Paddock makes it a great place to ride around.
