Green Ring 2 Cycle Loop

A collection of 5 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

Leafy city loop linking parks, green corridors, and quiet streets. Expect a mix of asphalt and long gravel runs, plus stretches of paving stones and the odd bit of cobble. Most of it rolls on paths and pedestrian areas, with a few short links on quiet roads and the occasional busier section. It's a true loop, so you can hop on anywhere and ride either direction.

Best on a gravel or trekking bike; wider tires make the unpaved bits fun. Road bikes work with care. There are tiny flights of steps you may need to roll or lift. Elevation is moderate - more steady cruising than climbing.

Perfect for a relaxed day out, photo stops, and park breaks. Go early or off-peak to avoid crowds on the path sections, ring your bell around pedestrians, and enjoy the green-belt vibe on the edge of the city.
