Cycle touring in Northumberland

Cycling in Northumberland Are you looking for some alternative cycle holiday destinations in the UK? While it may not be the first place you'd think of for a cycling break, Northumberland has some interesting cycling routes and offers some fascinating sightseeing too (The Farne Islands, Seahouses, Bamburgh, Holy Island/Lindisfarne and on into Scotland) – as Ann Tonge discovered one long weekend.

Select from travel companies right across the globe

Travel is global, so you don't have to stick with your local home-grown travel companies. If you can't find the trip you want from a company close to home, consider suppliers from your chosen destination country/area instead.

If you want to do a cycle tour in New Zealand then try the New Zealand based companies too, mountain biking in the Alps might be better served by a business based out there and who really know the local routes.

Rather than give you localised results (as the Search Engines often do!) we list holiday providers from all over the world to give you the best choice (you'll often benefit from better deals or genuine local knowledge and more local colour too).

CATEGORY DEFINITION FOR TOUR OPERATORS WISHING TO BE LISTED:

The travel-quest cycling holidays & cycle touring breaks section lists holidays, courses and cycling weekends or short breaks where the main activity and focus is on road cycling trips, including guided and unguided tours. This includes inn-to-inn tours and cycling safaris as well as day tours from a fixed base. If you offer mixed activity holidays that include cycling and biking, then road cycling must be a significant component of the tours to qualify for listing. Cycling holidays by tandem and mountain biking breaks are catered for in separate categories.
