Cycling

The Southern Downs and Granite Belt is a great place for recreational cyclists of any level. Clean, crisp country air and a network of quiet scenic routes provide ideal cycling conditions. Cyclists can pass through the historical buildings of Warwick, explore the vineyards of the Granite Belt or ride the relatively flat roads to any of the delightful villages throughout the region.

Granite Belt Bike Trail

Combine your favourite pastime with the Granite Belt Bike Trail, a marked 34 km trail along country roads that starts at the picturesque Quart  in Stanthorpe and meanders through quaint country back roads towards Ballandean, Queensland’s most rewarded wine region.

Stop along the way with over 20 places to choose from, most no more than a kilometre off the cycle trail. Rest stops, signage, toilets and bike racks are provided en route to ensure your journey is comfortable, safe and memorable.

The bike trail is shared use with motor vehicles so we do ask that you take care, be safe and be aware of your surroundings. Granite Belt Bicycle Tours offers tours and bicycle hire packages for adults and children. Call ahead to organise.
