There is something exceptional about cycling that derives a sense of freedom and exhilaration. Let’s face it, young or old, we are all happy when we are on bikes with the wind in our hair and the sense of discovery and serendipity around each and every corner. 

Cycle touring offers us all a way to slow down and to see the detail of your immediate environment; appreciating all its characteristics from the locals to the scenic highlights, history, wildlife and natural landscapes. It's the ideal way to get the lay of the land and to truly soak in the charm and nuances of the region you are exploring.

Cycling is a healthy outdoor activity that the whole family can enjoy. Bikes allow you to cover greater distances than walking which can be of great benefit if you are travelling with children.

It's also low impact and carbon free. Any type of holiday activity which is ‘under your own steam’ means you are joining the growing movement of sustainable tourism and cycling falls squarely in that court. 

Once you’ve done your first cycle tour you'll find it hard not to want to take more holidays on a bike. You’ll be inspired and definitely fitter for the experience!
