The Lark Rise bike ride is a challenging off-road cycle ride through the lovely countryside that formed the backdrop to Flora Thompson’s Lark Rise to Candleford.
Challenge yourself on this established off-road ride best suited to mountain bikes and hybrids; the trail follows tracks, bridleways and quiet lanes. Choose from the 12.5-mile starter ride - ideal for families (children under 16 - £5) and occasional riders, or the tougher 25-mile or 40-mile trails offering some more serious sections to test regular off-roaders.
The circular routes start and finish at Fringford (Candleford) north of Bicester and wind through the beautiful countryside of Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire including the classic Stowe Estate.
