United Kingdom · 9 days
Each trip is a fixed itinerary of riding days linked by pre-booked accommodation. You get route notes and maps, and the app shows the day's route on your phone along with points of interest along the way. Your luggage is transferred ahead to the next hotel, so you ride with what you need for the day only.
The listed trips run from April to October. The Cornish Cycle Tour is 9 days, the Cotswolds by Bike and Hadrian's Cycleway are 8 days, Castles and Lochs, Bens and Glens is 8 days, the Cyclist's Coast to Coast comes in a 6-day and a 7-day version, and the Isle of Wight and Great Glen Cycleway are 5 days each. Route types include linear routes, roundtrips, easy cycling, iconic routes and family cycling, and there is a custom tour option.
The routes are grouped by region and theme: Scotland, England, Northern England, Southern England, the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Cotswolds, Cornwall and the Isle of Wight; themes cover e-bike, national parks, history, island, nature and coast. The company says routes are chosen to be comfortable and peaceful where possible.
This is not a guided group trip and there is no instructor or coach. Support comes in the form of the route notes, the app and a contact line. The company states it is a Travelife Partner and is working towards Travelife Certified.
