Cycling holidays in the UK

Experience the magic on our cycling trips in the UK

Rich history, good food and outstanding scenery - just three reasons why the UK is one of the most interesting and engaging places to explore of anywhere around the globe. With so much green open space on offer, the British landscape naturally lends itself to discovery on two wheels.

Take your pick from contrasting yet equally unique UK cycling tours, located at opposite ends and sides of the country. The Cotswolds, one of Britain's most popular holiday locations and the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, offers a variety of trip options including circular trips through some of the best-loved villages, a linear trip from Oxford to Bath and a multi-activity trip with both cycling and walking. This area is renowned for both its natural and architectural allure. The Cotswolds' rolling countryside and picturesque villages are equally revered as some of the best the island has to offer.

Norfolk, over on the far East of England, provides some lovely easy cycling through beautiful coastal and countryside scenery. You get to cycle along tree-lined avenues in Her Majesty the Queen's Sandringham Estate, visit the seals in Blakeney and go bird spotting in RSPB Titchwell. The Norfolk coast has fabulous wide beaches and with options to take a steam train to the Norfolk Broads, this region just keeps giving.

For those looking for a sense of myth-laden adventure, head north of the English border to Loch Ness and the Highlands. Beyond the rumours of a famous pre-historic lake beast lies an area of rugged yet stunning natural beauty, boasting ancient castles, misty lochs and tranquil hideaways for you to breathe in as you cycle the breathtaking trails.

Our cycling holidays in the UK are built with your comfort and convenience in mind. As well as providing a selection of your chosen tour area's most charming and desirable stayover spots, we'll also provide you with a high-quality bike for your tour, with upgrade options on rooms, extra nights and electric bikes all available to you.
