Cycling holidays in the UK

beaches, stately homes & more

Stately homes and royal retreats; nature reserves teeming with birds; pretty villages and inviting beaches ... our cycling holidays in the UK are about more than cycling. As you’re not part of a group, and have no luggage (we transfer it to the next hand-picked country inn or guesthouse), you can make the most of the freedom, stopping and appreciating the places that you pass, and following our reliable route notes at your own pace.

Where to go cycling in the UK

For our very first cycling holiday in the UK, we have chosen Norfolk. The region's labyrinth of backroads are perfect for leisurely pedalling, and you never seem to have to go too far between refreshment stops! Combine this with a wealth of places of interest, not to mention beautiful seascapes, and you can understand why Norfolk makes such a great choice for a cycling holiday in the UK.

Is our cycling holiday in the UK right for you?

Thanks to the modest distances covered each day, our cycling holiday in the UK is suitable for occasional cyclists, but, to be sure that it is right for you, you should familiarise yourself with our cycling grading system below (which assumes you are riding a conventional, pedal-powered bike). If you are unsure of your ability, or would appreciate the option to take things easier every once in a while, you can upgrade to an electric bike.

Grade 1

Easy cycling for all with shorter days mainly on the flat, but some gentle ascents.
Grade 1-2

Easy-to-moderate cycling featuring undulating routes with more frequent short ascents, and a mix of shorter and longer days.
Grade 2

Moderate cycling with some longer, steady uphill sections, and longer days.
Grade 2-3

Fairly strenuous cycling featuring longer days with some sustained climbs. (We don't currently have any holidays at this level.)
