CYCLING

Cycling is only permitted along the clearly marked main tarmac road which the land train runs on, and it is an excellent way of reaching the most easterly part of the site.
Cycling is strictly forbidden everywhere else on the Head, including all the paths, clifftop etc. The severity of the £500 fine in failing to comply reflects the level of damage to paths by erosion.

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all visitors please be considerate and give way to walkers and keep to the imposed 10m/hr speed limit, and in July and August bicycles may not be ridden on the promenade between 1000 and 1800. On those occasions you would need to cyde on Southbourne Overcliff Drive.

From Bournemouth – if you are coming from Bournemouth, Boscombe or the Southbourne direction by bike or on foot, then the easiest way is to cycle or walk in an easterly direction on the beach promenade, which is both safe and very enjoyable. Once you get to the end of the promenade, join the Southbourne Coast Road and you will see the Head in front of you.

From Christchurch - cycle down Stour Road and over Tuckton Bridge. At the Tuckton Roundabout, go straight across into Belle Vue Road. Broadway is the next left and the Head is at the end of Broadway. You can walk the Stour Valley Way from Tuckton Bridge along the river bank and through the fields to the Head.
