Go cycling
New England Bike Tours are located at 5/85 Marsh Street, just a few steps away from your Club Motel Armidale accommodation. They offer guided biking tours around the town. With them, you can get adventurous and hit the trails in the mountain bike parks or you can settle for a low-impact tour around the area – it all depends on you! You can also suggest particular places go to and they can customise the trip. If you feel you can handle the cycling alone with the family, you can just rent the bikes from them and go along at your own pace.
