Cycling trips are energetic, healthy and exciting ways to see new places. England is a naturally beautiful country that is full of picturesque, rolling hills and countryside, small pubs in villages, amiable locals, small rural lanes and serene paths, making it an ideal destination for your next bike tour. Whether you are a fan of literature, cooling down in neighborhood pubs or browsing historical landmarks, you will be able to find a tour suitable for your needs.
Cycle Breaks
Tourists who want to cycle through the gentle and serene countryside of the Norfolk and Suffolk areas of England should take a Cycle Breaks cycling tour. These tours are ideal for those wishing to travel through England at a relaxed and leisurely pace. The tours book cyclists' lodging beforehand, and the routes are flexible, but pre-planned. From sandy beaches to cliffs and salt marshes, there is also a lot of time for stops at charming pubs and village shops. If you want a relaxing cycling trip, Cycle Breaks is a good option.
Country Lanes
Country Lanes Cycling Tours will take visitors through the beautiful Cotswolds, New Forest and Lake District sections of England. Cyclists will be able to stay in accommodations of their own choice--whether guest houses or more upscale country house hotels. You will be able to cycle through Lakeland Villages and follow the route of the legendary British author Beatrix Potter ("Peter Rabbit"), and even cycle up to the Isle of Wight. This is a good cycling tour for fans of literature in particular.
Iron Donkey
Iron Donkey bicycle touring will take cyclists along an idyllic route of some of England's most serene and magnificent locales. If you want to explore some of the most historical and traditional towns and villages of England, Iron Donkey will have much to offer you, from cycling past the legendary Stonehenge to visiting a quiet pub in the West of England (Wiltshire, Bath, Wells). Iron Donkey offers cyclists a particularly historic viewpoint of the country.
Gentle Cycling Tours
Gentle Cycling Tours is a choice for people interested in exploring Southwestern England, like the capital city of London, Devon, the Thames River region, Kent and more. This is a family-run service that specializes in cycling trips with gentle terrain (hence the name), flexible schedules, and additional recreational activities during the tour (like boating, fishing, visiting the theater, riding hot air balloons and more).
