Coast to Coast (from £425)
Another of the UK's signature rides, and possibly the most popular long distance route in the country, the 'c2c' is a must-do for keen cyclists. On this self-guided weekender of intermediate difficulty, you'll explore some of the most stunning UK countryside. From the Georgian port of Whitehaven on the Irish Sea to the castle on the rock at Tynemouth facing the North Sea, you'll cross some of the most dramatic landscapes in the UK: the silvery, shining levels and the high crags of the Lake District, the vast, eerily empty moorland on the Cumbrian Fells, and the Tyne Valley, it's all there!
