A new downloadable map and leisure route guides are here to view and download. Our new leisure route maps are graded - easy, intermediate and challenging - and work alongside the City Cycle Map. All are FREE.

Easy (Green Guides numbered 1-39) are shorter, easier family routes using off-road paths and quieter roads. Most rides are less then 10 miles.

Intermediate (Orange Guides numbered 40-69) are mid-length to longer routes using some busier routes.

Challenging Routes (Red Guides numbered 70-99) are more complex, longer or hillier rides, featuring both on- and off-road networks including some favorite mountain bike and road riding curcuits.

Our maps

City Cycle Map. View it here.

This map offers a city wide overview, aiming to show all roads and paths legally available for cyclists to use. National and local cycle route numbers are shown. Routes are shown as on-road or off-road, traffic free routes are also shown, as is Regional Route 66, our 'Orbital'. Bridleways are shown regardless of their suitablity for cycling, so some may be roughly surfaced. On-carriageway cycle lanes and bus lanes permitting cycling are also marked. You'll also find recommneded routes to help you plan your route. There are details of the BMX and wheeled sports areas plus locations of the city's schools, College and University sites are to help you find a route to school or work.
