If you’re looking for a cycling trip to England and Scotland that takes you far from the maddening crowd, this is the one! With VBT’s insider access to remote corners of the British Isles, we’ll lead you over hill and dale through some of the last wilderness in England—including rides through the rugged, scenic Lake District, the remote and pristine expanse of Kielder Forest, and the sweeping vistas of the Honister Pass. Discover the ancient history of the British Isles during a stop at Hadrian’s Wall and the ancient Roman settlement of Vindolanda, as well as a memorable ride to the ancient Neolithic monument at Castlerigg Stone Circle. Pedal the charming, verdant valleys of Scotland, and enjoy the epitome of Scottish opulence during a two-night stay at a Tweed Valley hotel featuring a luxury spa, Victorian baths, sauna, steam room, and on-site distillery. Along the way, our local British trip leaders unlock the region’s best kept secrets: hidden shops, delightful restaurants, and the best place to find an authentic pint of English lager.
Tour Highlights
- View the Castlerigg Stones, a circle of Neolithic standing stones offering panoramic views.
- Cycle an iconic route through the Lake District, passing the stunning waters of Crummock Water and Buttermere.
- Cross the “spine of England” from Cumbria to Northumberland through the scenic North Pennines National Landscape.
- Stroll along Hadrian’s Wall and explore the excavations at Vindolanda Roman Fort & Museum.
- Spin through the gently rolling Tweed River Valley, surrounded by Scotland’s rugged, heather-lined hills.
This trip takes bikers to extremely interesting historical sites. Biking to a neolithic stone circle and Hadrian's Wall topped our biking adventures and this is our 15th VBT trip. The terrain covered was diverse and interesting, the cities unique and welcoming. Our guides were excellent and made the sites come alive. If you like variety and history this is your trip!
