Center Parcs & hire centres.
Forme are the official hire bike brand and supplier for the UK's largest holiday villages, Center Parcs.
Their sites are located in: Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire; Elveden Forest in Suffolk; Longleat Forest in Wiltshire; Whinfell Forest in Cumbria; Woburn Forest in Bedfordshire and the recently opened Longford Forest in Ireland
Set in acres of unspoilt woodland deep within the forest in a car-light environment, the perfect way to get around any of their 6 villages has to be by bike!
At the Cycle Centre within each village, the Cycle Centre team will make sure you get exactly the right equipment for your height, age and ability.
The specific bikes supplied to Center Parcs are not available to purchase from our retailers as they are tailor made to meet the needs of their hire fleet although we can certainly help you find something similar using our online bike finder.
