We have a selection of tempting new cycling holidays for 2018, all based around our tried-and-tested formula of carefully researched cycle routes linking hand-picked hotels, with plenty of opportunities to create life-long memories - moments that can be treasured for years to come.
We now have four cycling trips in Ireland - our Ring of Kerry tour and our new 4, 8 and 10-night cycling trips taking you through the stunning wild countryside of the Galway/Mayo region on western Ireland's Connemara peninsula.
Norway is the happiest country in the world, so we have added a third trip to the portfolio, and our first cycling trip here. The Oslofjord is a cyclist's paradise, with its gentle coastline, charming coastal towns and small forest paths.
On our Dolomites to Lake Garda trip you'll cycle the bright Trentino-Alto Adige region, which is a timeless bilingual region at the crossroads of Italy and Austria.
For those of you who might want to stay a little closer to home, our new 7-night cycling holiday in Scotland may tempt you - whisky, water and wonderful scenery awaits on the beautiful Moray coast and the Speyside Way.
And if you prefer to stay in one hotel during your break, take a look at three new additions to our 'activity holiday' range - single-centre activity holidays in Catalunya, the Dordogne and Brittany, where you can choose to do as much or as little as you like using our suggested itinerary. Travelling as a family? You can incorporate walking and cycling into your holiday, to keep everyone happy!
And in Tuscany, experience a 'from farm to table' way of life on our new 7-night trip, based in the beautiful town of Chianciano Terme.
Whisky-flavoured Speyside is a dream for the cyclist and whisky connoisseur. Pedalling along the beautiful Moray Coast, your 7-night whisky pilgrimage combines beautiful cycling in the Scottish Highlands with the chance to visit the many famous distilleries and sample their world-renowned tipples along the way.
