We don’t like to sit still at Deepdale, both physically and with business development. The latest addition to the offering is Deepdale Bike Hire, which opens its doors this weekend.

Visitors to the north Norfolk coast have been requesting cycle hire for a long time, but it’s been hard to find the right person to take on the challenge. That all changed when Alyson Roxburgh visited Deepdale and fell in love with the village, the coast and the countryside. Alyson felt it was the right place for a life change and a new business.

Deepdale Bike Hire can supply bikes for all the family, plus all those necessary accessories like trailers, tagalongs, child seats and buggies. Alyson has developed a series of self guided routes and will be running guided tours at various times during the year.

Bicycles will be available for hire throughout the year, so perfect for those wanting an active short break out of season or a family visiting during the school holidays. There isn’t a better way to explore and enjoy the culture and rich heritage of this wonderful area, including Barrow Common, Burnham Thorpe (Nelson’s birthplace), Burnham Market and Burnham Overy Staithe and many more interesting villages. It’s easy to link to the National Cycle Route 1 riding along quiet lanes from Burnham Deepdale.

“Deepdale Bike Hire is a brilliant addition to our facilities at Deepdale. We’ve been looking for the right person to take up the challenge and look forward to working with Alyson. Bicycle hire fits so well with both the hostels & campsite of Deepdale Backpackers & Camping and the shops & café of Dalegate Market. Another great reason to visit this wonderful part of the world!” said Jason Borthwick, Diversification Partner of Deepdale Farm.

Deepdale Bike Hire looks forward to supplying bicycles to those staying at the neighbouring Deepdale Backpackers & Camping and in local holiday cottages, hotels and B&Bs. It’s easy to reach Deepdale by the Coasthopper bus service, meaning you don’t have to drive anywhere during your visit to the north Norfolk coast.

Anyone interested in hiring bikes can get more information by visiting www.deepdalebikehire.co.uk or by calling Alyson on 07747 618424.
