Sport England has teamed up with the National Trust to create 10 new cycle trails to the tune of £4.25m (US$6.1m, €5.6m). The trails – which will be built at National Trust sites across the country – are due to be completed by autumn 2017, and will each be around 5km (3.1 miles) long.
The grassroots sports quango will plough £2m (US$2.9m, €2.6m) of National Lottery money into the initiative, designed to reach the 18.2m people which are not currently active but wish to take part in some kind of outdoor activity.
It represents Sport England’s fourth venture with the National Trust, having put £4.2m (US$6m, €5.5m) of funding into joint schemes since 2012.
“Cyclists of all abilities will be able to safely get on their bike, take in some fresh air, and appreciate the beautiful surroundings the National Trust sites have to offer,” said Sport England director of property Charles Johnston.
Helen Ghosh, director general for the National Trust, added: “Generous funding from Sport England means that we can create more trails at our properties across the country for cyclists of all ages and levels of skill to explore and enjoy.”
