Bike Riding
Whether its competition you seek or just an opportunity to explore, the Isle of Man offers tremendous variety in terrain, excellent off-road trails and beautiful scenery wherever you choose to go.
The Manx landscape can be challenging, but riders are rewarded with stunning views together with the knowledge that they've tested themselves on many of the same roads which moulded and inspired Manxman Mark Cavendish into becoming a Tour de France legend.
As well as providing an excellent base for your cycling holiday on the east coast of the Isle of Man, Groudle Glen Cottages also offers secure storage, cleaning facilites and a place to relax and unwind after a day in the saddle.
