A storied island

England bike tours.

A visit to England offers a glimpse at its history and traditions through ancient villages, medieval castles, prehistoric structures and leading museums. Such history is set alongside the vibrant British culture, making it one of the most diverse places in the world.

While London attracts millions of visitors each year, cyclists treasure natural diversity beyond the city. Pedal through lovely meadows, hills and lakes dotted with quaint villages.

England also boasts coastal areas with cliffs and charming seaside villages. The rolling hills and a yearlong mild climate also make England a prime cycling destination.

“This was a life-changing experience...my first bicycle tour and my first time in either country. It was, in a word, amazing. A totally unique experience. Can't wait to do my next one!”

Cycling is a great way to explore Norfolk & Suffolk, and when you add a beautiful rolling landscape and a network of quiet country lanes you the have the perfect place to get those pedals turning!

For the last 21 years our families have been cycling the byways, tracks and lanes of Norfolk & Suffolk, in the process we’ve discovered numerous ruined castles, deserted beaches, wonderful village inns, amazing children’s attractions and a wide collection of fascinating places to explore. And because we don’t have any serious hills in this lovely part of England everyone can cycle our routes – even if you’ve not been on a bike for years!

Using our own experiences we’ve developed a unique range of cycling tours that explore the very best bits of Norfolk and Suffolk. All our routes follow quiet country lanes to search out and discover a wealth of interesting places each day – you can also choose between different route options and while you travel ‘light’ on one of our modern touring bikes all your luggage is transported to your evening destination – usually a comfortable country hotel or a high quality bed and breakfast.

So whether you want a 2 day Family Adventure or a 6 day Coastal Exploration we’re sure we have something to suit – and don’t forget we’ve cycled all these routes ourselves so just give us a call if you want to discuss options or talk about any aspect of our tours.

Hoping to see you soon,

Martin, Phil, Mick and the UK Cycle Holiday Team

If you want to check availability, options, costs or have any other questions about our cycling breaks then please just give me a call or send me a note and I'll get back to you asap.

“ Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, it was a really great experience with the cycling routes pitched exactly at the right level ”

Ian, Cheshire

“ Getting the Train to Diss worked well, only 90 mins from Liverpool Street then a pleasant country ride to a lovely little hotel. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend without the Car for once ! ”

Richard, North London

“ The perfect balance between cycling and family attractions, we didn't have to cycle more than 1 hour before the Zoo, Steam Train or Dinosaur Park came into view... well thought out and great fun for kids ”

Wendy, Fersfield

“ The route plan was spot-on, we got to Southwold on lovely quiet country lanes and had all afternoon to explore the town... a downhill ride and a ferry crossing by rowing boat was a great way to arive at our hotel! ”

Mark, Cumbria

“ first time on a cycle for years...we really enjoyed the holiday and would definately recommend it to others, we will be back next year ”

Sue, Sussex

“ I tested your Coastal Explorer Tour with a couple of friends and can honestly say it’s a brilliant way to discover North Norfolk. Your suggested route took us through some perfect cycling countryside offering loads of interesting places to visit ”

John, London

“ At the end of fantastic days cycling we stayed at a lovely country hotel, the food was superb and the room very comfortable…it's obvious you've developed the perfect recipe for fun and relaxing cycling holidays ”

Pete, Milton Keynes

“ Your route was perfect for the kids, not too far to reach the attractions but enough countryside to make it feel like a little adventure…they both enjoyed all the fresh air and want to come back in the Spring ”

Netti, London

“ Thanks for arranging a great cycle tour, all of our group had a brilliant time even though 3 of us had never been on a bike for over 5 years….the scenery was spectacular, the bikes comfortable and the pubs brilliant! ”

Liz, Cockermouth

“ Last year we did the Coast to Coast ride but this time we wanted to do something a bit more relaxing. So a trip around East Anglian Castles was just perfect...very well done for putting together our route at such short notice ”

Nick, Winchester

“ Last year we got stuck at the airport for hours so as a family we decided to reduce the hassle and holiday nearer home.... the kids also wanted a 'green' holiday so your Safari Tour was exactly what we needed. ”

Amanda, Horsham

“ After doing very little exercise for 10 years I wasn't sure if I would enjoy cycling again however your bikes are so easy to ride and comfortable I really enjoyed myself..... on the third day I did 30 miles and even thought about doing more! ”

Ashley, Southwold - Suffolk Secrets Tour

“ Undoubtedly Norfolk is at it's best when explored by bike, it just gives you time to stop at all the places you miss when in the car. Our only regret was that we hadn't arranged a longer tour…can we come back next month ! ”

Geoff, Great Dunmow

“ I've cycled many parts of the UK but it was the first cycling holiday for my wife. Although she was a little nervous at first your advice and support allowed us to have a really excellent long weekend in a beautiful part of Suffolk…. Many Thanks ”

Paul, Leicestershire

Nick, Winchester - Bespoke tour for some special friends

“ Just a note to say thanks to Phil and Martin for arranging our cycle trip at such short notice. Everything was taken care of and despite two days of wet weather we had a wonderful week – the hotels were excellent:- good food, comfortable and friendly ”

Rodney, York

“ Many thanks for arranging our weekend cycling tour, both the Hotel and B & B were top class and your route notes took us to places well off the beaten track. Climbing up a working windmill and the seal trip are both to be recommended ”

Customer testimonals

A wonderful trip, the route was well planned & avoided busy roads where possible. This was a fairly relaxed ride, the cyclists naturally split into slow, medium & faster groups with regular stops for photos, to refuel and regroup. Darren & Paul looked after everyone and every detail, good food & accommodation etc, which meant all we had to do was pedal! If you want to do LELOG I would recommend Pedal Britain. Pete (2019)

LEJOG with Pedal Britain has been an amazing experience. Both concerned that as relatively new cyclists we may struggle to complete the tour. Darren and Paul put us at ease and supported us all the way. An absolutely brilliant two weeks. I would definitely recommend Pedal Britain to anyone considering this adventure. Dave & Sharon (July 2018)

Great routing throughout, with fantastic team to lead and support every day, including medical and technical difficulties.They provided anything you required/liked for snacks. Best cycling adventure I’ve ever done. Carol (June 2019)

"The route took me to places I'd never been too, taking in the country lanes and using cycle routes to avoid main roads. I thought it was excellent. This tour far exceeded my expectations. The whole group gelled together and the team couldn't have been more supportive and encouraging" Jersey Boys (June 2019)

Biking Tours in the UK

With its dramatic mountains, scenic coastlines, picture-postcard villages, and vibrant food scene, the UK have a lot to offer on an independent biking vacation! We have an extensive range of self-guided biking tours at Macs that let you discover each of these distinctive regions your way! 

If you want to experience quintessential England in all its glory, then slowly pedal the peaceful country lanes of the Cotswolds . Live like a local and visit its idyllic villages, stopping for a cream tea or a pub lunch in a rustic country inn. For the history buffs? Immerse yourself in Northern England's Roman heritage as you bike alongside the famous Hadrian's Wall . Or why not tick off some of England's most famous historical sites as you cycle through the Thames Valley on our London to Oxford By Bike tour, and onwards to the Cotswolds from Oxford to Bath . For coastal trails, head to the foot of England and see Cornwall's classic coastline . Pedal between its iconic harbor towns sampling its indulgent Cornish ice cream and trying its freshly caught fish and chips.

Looking to embrace the call of the mountains? Head north of the border to Scotland. Explore its magnificent scenery along the popular Great Glen Cycleway next to Loch Ness. If you want to see its bold landscape but do things at a gentler pace, then try our inspiring Lochs & Glens tour. Relax in the evenings, toasting your day's biking with a local brew in a traditional pub.

Truly great holidays are hard to find but the traverse of Bhutan is one of them. If you only do one trip this is the one to do! I am incredibly proud of us all for completing the journey. We climbed to great heights, descended the longest road on the planet- bar none! Rode through rain forest and paddy fields, passed through scenery I will simply never forget. Thank you Bike Adventures for the journey of a life time..

A great trip: a seamless two weeks of sun, sweat and scintillating company! Thanks everyone, and especially to Rob and Bike Adventures!

It is safe to say that ‘Bike Adventures’ are awesome. It is great to feel like real mates with the whole team. Dom and Steve make you feel like a pro rider. Every need taken care of. Great routs, great support when needed, bags in the room when you arrive at the end of the days ride so you can get organised quickly…

Thank you for making the experience so special. I cannot imagine what more could have been done to make the trip better. Well done.

Many thanks for all your hard work in making the Rhine cycle so enjoyable. You were most supportive and helpful – and fun! We loved visiting so many countries with their different scenery, architecture and wildlife – something for everyone! 

I just want to thank you for the great experience I had. I was so very pleased with the pre-trip planning that you helped [us] with, and all of the little things that helped to make this such a great, if at times difficult, journey. Hopefully I can make another trip with you in the future.

…when I think of the last nine days it must rank and one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks to you and to Rob for everything…. I thought the route was perfect…

The trip down the Rhine was excellent….it was a rich experience. Could anything have been better?  I’m not sure that it could realistically.

I have been holidaying with Bike Adventures since 2005. Through out the standards have remained high. The Danube trip was every bit as good as I have come to expect. Route and leaders were excellent and the accommodation was of a constantly high standard.

Once again, thanks for putting on a great trip. There seems to be a certain formula that Bike Adventures has that works for us and clearly many others.

 From The Blog

Bike Adventures was established in 2000 with the aim of creating original, exciting and affordable cycling holidays in the UK & worldwide. We are based in Hove, East Sussex, UK, and have over 18 years experience organising worldwide cycling adventures with over 20 specialist tour leaders all of whom have been there and done it.

We spend our time creating first class road, mountain and family cycling holiday experiences. Listening to our clients, we explore new routes and, using our knowledge of the very best cycling destinations and our network of friends across the world, make sure every Bike Adventures holiday exceeds your expectations.

The physical and emotional benefits of a bike tour are numerous – cycling is not only a great source of exercise, it can also help to combat stress and promote relaxation. Exploring a location on two wheels can bring with it a change in perspective, as cyclists are able to engage with their surrounding environment and immerse themselves within it, in a way which is simply not possible from a car.

We offer cycling tours across a wide range of destinations, including cycling holidays in the UK, Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Australasia, our destinations have something to suit every taste and cater for every need. So, whether you’re an ardent cyclist, a weekend cyclist, or just fancy a gentle exploratory pedal there’s a Bike Adventures holiday to suit your experience. All our cycling holidays can be cycled at YOUR own pace. We also offer group cycling holidays – a great way to meet new and like minded people, as well as individual cycling tours and family friendly experiences.

We just love making our clients happy, and if you read their feedback, you’ll realise why our cycling holiday customers return again and again – and bring their friends and families too.

Bike Tours in England

Bike tour england, the country that helped popularize cycle touring.

Cycling in Britain is a fun way to learn about this fascinating place. Why not start your bike trip from the capital London? Cycle via the Thames, the water highway to see famed Castles and Palaces. Our English cycle tours take you over some of Europe’s oldest history, visiting Stonehenge and Celtic sights, and introducing you to the famous towns of Oxford and Bath.

There is something for everyone on these cycling trips from the lover of literature and Tudor architecture to any cyclist who wants a full day on the bike and then a refreshing pint of beer afterwards. Cycling in England means cycling through centuries!

Cycling in England’s Cotswolds

Our bike holidays take cyclists through the middle of England’s famous countryside, the Cotswolds. A rich area that is quintessential England with its charming villages, cultivated food tastes and some lovely cycle touring. Visit the famous city of Oxford and pedal on through ancient forests via quaint hamlets. This is the storybook English cycle tour you have been waiting for. On to classy Bath, where Netflix’s famous Bridgerton is filmed and where, before that, the Roman’s bathed. End in Europe’s most enigmatic sight, Neolithic Stonehenge. A surprise around every corner. Truly a bike tour for cyclists who love exploring.

“There’s nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.” Vivienne Westwood, designer

Bike Trips from London

A stop over in London has got to be one of the highlights to any European bike tour. After staying awhile, a bike tour onwards is a great way to travel. Bike down its main water artery, the Thames, past world famous palaces, places and castles. Think King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, The Queen and Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, Windsor Palace and ending in Oxford, the renowned University town. What more could we squeeze in there? A delightful English cycling trip for everyone.

C elebrating 14 Years  of  Land's End to John O'Groats  tours in  2024!

What our customers say:

Only one word to describe the tour, leaders and organisation…FABULOUS! Hamish and Niv were very thoughtful regarding the group’s needs and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to all – would book again with you and hope to in the future.

Very well organised and all of the information provided in advance. I had questions that were answered really quickly. This was my 3rd trip with Peak Tours.

Great tour, well organised. Our guides Niv and Hamish were first class.

Loved the days through the hills in Bavaria.

The route was excellent. Really enjoyed the scenery, especially Dartmoor, The lakes and Cairngorms. Lots of quiet country lanes, mostly traffic free. The size of the group was just right and enabled smaller groups to be formed, so people could ride at their own pace.

New for 2018 were the introduction of two hugely popular 7 day tours.  The Classic Cols tour and A Week in Provence . The Classic Cols tour takes in some of the most spectacular climbs that the French Alps have to offer. The Telegraphe, Madeleine, Galibier and Alpe d’Huez to name but a few. The mileages short and the climbs and descents long, this is equally a spectacular introduction into alpine riding or a chance for seasoned climbers to have a full supported play on the slopes of some of the most (in)famous climbs in the cycling world.

A Week in Provence is designed to take in many of Provence’s highlights whilst also allowing time for relaxation and exploration if desired. We stay in each location for two nights, with a loop ride planned on the second day which you can always opt out of if you choose to relax in the sunshine or explore instead! Mt Ventoux  looms large on the agenda for the final day and anyone who wishes to attempt the climb will be fully supported as always by our guides and the magic brew van.

Longer Tours

If you want a bit of a longer challenge then our Mizen Head to Malin Head cycling holiday takes you from the most southerly point in Ireland at Mizen Head to the most northerly point in Ireland at Malin Head travelling along the stunning west coast of Ireland from south to north in ten days of rugged, magical touring along the best cycle routes this amazingly friendly country has to offer.

Our iconic Land’s End to John O’Groats or LEJOG tour can be taken over 14 days which is a challenge in itself but for those who would like a tougher challenge we also offer a 10 day Land’s End to John O’Groats tour which is not for the faint-hearted.  This classic tour is one we are extremely proud of and our fantastic route through the best of the British countryside and our customer testimonials speak for themselves.

Our epic Dover to Durness cycling holiday provides a refreshingly different perspective to the UK than on our LEJOG tour as you cycle from the south east of England to the north west of Scotland in some of the UK’s most dramatic scenery. The Dover to Durness tour is similar in length to the LEJOG tour but a bit harder as there are more hills along the way.  The reward for the extra effort on this adventure is simply some of the best cycling in the whole country, as we explore The Kentish Downs, Cambridgeshire, Rutland, The Peak District, The Yorkshire Dales, Dumfrieshire, the Scottish islands of Arran, Mull and Skye and on up the west coast of Scotland to a beautiful last few days in cycling heaven.

The Channel to the Med tour is our ridiculously popular French end to end cycling holiday which takes you through some of that country’s most stunning scenery along quiet country lanes and through picturesque towns and villages. From bucolic ancient villages, around the lazy Loire, through volcanic landscapes, old Roman settlements, “The Giant of Provence” Mt Ventoux, and the breathtaking Gorge de Verdon.  The Channel to the Med tour is stunning to say the least and, although a different kind of cycling on less steep roads than some we use in Britain, it is similar to our LEJOG tour in terms of difficulty. We also offer this tour in a 10 Day version for those looking to increase the physical challenge that little bit further!

Munich to Rome  is our latest addition to the 2 week tour family and we love it! The first few days of winding through the Tyrolean mountains take us into Austria and then Switzerland before crossing into Italy and heading south taking in yet more stunning scenery, fantastic food and beautiful architecture. We then work our way slowly further south, crossing the length of Lake Garda on a ferry and heading towards our rest day in Siena, one of the most ancient and beautiful cities in the world.  We continue on to finish the ride in Rome,  surrounded by breathtaking buildings, fantastic food and more cultural heritage than you could shake a large Roman stick at.

If you want something a bit more relaxing then we have our Germany & Austria Cycling Holiday or Moselle to Mozart tour . Germany is very underrated but makes a superb destination for cycling with miles of traffic free cyclepaths, stunning architecture and amazing scenery. The tour starts on the west side of southern Germany and finishes on the east side of Austria in Vienna passing through the UNESCO world heritage site of the “Wachau”, the wonderfully well preserved buildings of Bernkastel-Kues and the impressive, imposing, monastery at Melk to name but a few.

British Cycling backs bid for UK Tour de France Grand Départ in 2027

Race could return to country following British starts in 2007 and 2014

British Cycling has backed the return of the Tour de France to the United Kingdom for a future Grand Départ, with the organisation signalling it's interest in bringing back the Tour for 2027.

The race last visited British shores for a trio of stages in Yorkshire and London back in 2014, while in 2007 the capital hosted the prologue and stage 1.

Grand Départs in Lille and Barcelona have already been confirmed for the next two editions of the race, meaning that a British bid could be successful in 2027.

British Cycling CEO John Dutton gave his backing to the idea in an interview with London newspaper City A.M. earlier this month, though stressed that the decision to bid for the Tour start wasn't up to the organisation.

"The Tour de France would have a hugely positive impact, it would create incredible visibility and it would allow all partners to deliver more social value over a period of time," Dutton said 

"It wouldn't just be about the race coming and going, there’s a massive cycle tourism aspect. 

"It's not our decision but it is why events are so important, and that they can be delivered in a financially sustainable way more than the sum of the parts."

Neighbouring country Ireland, which hosted the Grand Départ in 1998, had submitted an expression of interest in bidding to host the Tour in 2026 or 2027.

That bid was withdrawn in January, however, with the country's Department for the Economy citing "Funding reductions this year and a lack of certainty about the budget position in future years."

The budget for a potential British 2027 bid is still being worked on, with Dutton sounding positive about the possibility of it coming to fruition.

"The cost is still in the process of being worked through but we would definitely be within our means and prepared to step up and support against the value of just getting more people on a bike," he said, before shedding some light on where a potential Grand Départ may visit.

"We would love to come to London. We're looking at big population centres – London, Glasgow, Cardiff and more," said Dutton 

"We are doing a mapping exercise at the moment on the Tour of Britain to look at areas we haven't been to previously. Hopefully we can reach more people in more places.

"The Tour de France is a commercial organisation and so it is a project led by UK Sport," he added. "But off the back of the Grand Depart in 2014, which I was personally involved in, and seeing the millions of people come to the side of the road and the reach across the geography of the UK, we are fully supportive [of its return]."
