To help you choose a holiday that best suits your level of fitness our cycling holidays are graded using our 'bike' system . On the individual holiday pages (and in our brochure) you'll see that we've marked each tour from 'Lower 1 bike' to 'Upper 2 bike' so that you know what level of activities to expect. You can also search for your required activity level in our holiday finder too.
These holidays follow mainly flat, gentle routes with hardly any hills. The time you'll spend cycling is typically 2-4hrs, every other day. These holidays are a good choice for first timers, families with children, or mums and dads who haven't been on a bike in years! Longer route options available for the more energetic.
These holidays offer more varied cycling, often on the flat, but with the occasional hilly section en route. You'll typically spend 3-5hrs cycling every other day. You don't need to be a regular cyclist or especially fit but, in hot weather, be prepared to start early and take it easy.
"Thank you for a great holiday. We hadn't booked with Headwater before, or even done a cycling holiday - but we definately will again!"
Mrs Milner, Congleton
