EmailEver ridden a tandem? Now’s your chance to hop on a bicycle made for two and explore the best of the South West.
In this experience:
- Enjoy a cosy two-person tandem
- Explore new parts of the South West
- Get a quaint picnic
- Tandem, safety inductions, route and rider tips provided
- Just show up, get cycling and go wherever your heart desires!
You’ll start your experience with a briefing from one of The Strawberry Line team - they’ll explain your chosen route, tell you what to look out for, give you plenty of tips and get you set up on your tandem. They’ll be available on the phone throughout, in case you have any problems with your tandem.
After your briefing, it's time to set off on your adventure. The Strawberry Line's mostly traffic-free level path is one option made for novice cyclists. This peaceful route runs for 9 miles from Yatton station to Cheddar offering an 18-mile round trip - the perfect day out! Along the way, pass orchards, woodlands, valleys, wetlands and a nature reserve. If you're feeling adventurous, let those limbs take you off-piste and lap up scenic views elsewhere.
Jump on a tandem and enjoy a day out exploring with a picnic as a Yuup extra too - would be rude not to!

So much fun! A beautiful location and family friendly ride from Yatton to Winscombe. Our host couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. We'll definitely be back.

We spent a lovely few hours cycling along the strawberry line. The picnic was really generous (Included a roll, piece of fruit, cookie, packet of crisps and a bottle of water)
The hosts were so lovely, and made everything really easy. They kindly lent us a panier as we had forgotten our rucksack. The cycle track is beautiful and very quiet. It was really easy to manoeuvre the tandem along it. Would recommend this experience to anyone!

Highly recommend this day out to anybody. The staff at the Strawberry Line Cycle Project were just lovely, they provided everything we needed including a pannier bag to put our picnic in. Riding a tandem is tough work, but really fun once you get into it and they are positioned right next to the traffic free Strawberry Line.

Excellent fun hiring a tandem for the day and riding fairly slowly down the Strawberry Line! Would definitely recommend it.

Tandem ride was given to us as a Christmas present. We really enjoyed it. Good to choose our picnic at the cafe, delicious rolls and flapjacks! Did some geocaching en route and the sun was out!

Fantastic fun, well organised and a brilliant location on a traffic free stretch of path that extends all the way to cheddar. The picnic lunch was a bonus, although we stopped at a pub on the way!

There were so many places on the ride to stop and enjoy the picnic included. Will come back when Cider shop is open again ! Great experience. Although the tandem needs skills.

Very enjoyable day out, unique experience trying the tandem! Was strange but we got the hang of it quickly enough! The route is a decent length and not too strenuous. Able to stop off in cheddar and at the thatchers shop which we enjoyed and had plenty of time. Thanks!!

Easy booking experience. Organisers were friendly and helpful. Riding a tandem is a lot harder than it looks! Fun day out

A surprise for my husbands birthday. We both really enjoyed the experience and had a fun day out .

Good fun. Comms in advance could be better - postcode not to correct location, and did not specify the hire company for collection of tandem.
All went smoothly once we were set up though!

We had a fabulous time- lots of laughter and the tandem ride whilst not something that we might have booked as a gift bought for us was such fun. The Strawberry Line is very level making it suitable for all. The picnic was tasty and simple. Thank you so much for a wonderful day
