Family Cycle Zone 2025
The perfect spot to practice on two wheels

Saturday 3 May – Sunday 28 September 2025
A fun space for little ones to build their confidence on two wheels!
Our Family Cycle Zone offers a safe area for children to cycle, away from the hazards of traffic and pedestrians. With “roads” cut through the grass and road signs to mark the way, children can enjoy endless fun and freedom manoeuvring the roundabout and junctions!
Situated adjacent to the Bolton Abbey car park, the Cycle Zone is the perfect place for your little one to gain courage and find their balance. Please remember to bring your own bike.
After your ride, why not make the most of your visit with a walk down to the Priory, where the infamous stepping stones await. The ‘beach’ opposite provides the perfect picnic spot, where your little ones can make the most of nature’s playground.
Entry to the Family Cycle Zone is included with your car parking ticket. So enjoy a great value day out, for all the family, here at Bolton Abbey.
