Torbay Velopark - Paignton

A Cycling and Multisport Complex

  The circuit is the only outdoor closed road circuit in Devon and Cornwall and can accommodate both amateur and professional cycling and also a range of other sporting activities. There are three different distance options that the Velopark offers; Whole Track: 1.5km - 2.1.0km and 3.0.5km. British Cycling provided match funding to Torbay Council to help fund the creation of an outdoor velopark. Torbay Council made a decision during a Council meeting in May of this year to build these facilities and to match fund the remaining 50% of the cost - around £800k. Alternative activities include athletics, jogging, nordic walking, in line skating and a range of fitness activities for people with disabilities. The Park offers a dog-free activity area that includes changing and toilet facilities, bike and helmet hire, bike storage, an office and a rest area.
