Mountain Biking Holidays UK

Ditch tarmac and escape into the countryside on a self-guided mountain biking holiday. Britain is covered with off-road bridleways and byways, with surfaces ranging from slate-strewn pathways to narrow, earthy single track. Our varied range of self-guided MTB tours makes the best of that variety, with ideal itineraries whether you're looking for something rocky and technical or if you're more motivated by the chance to explore remote landscapes inaccessible by motor vehicle. And with Contours ferrying your heavier luggage, there's no need to worry about riding an unwieldy, overladen bike.

Pick a trail from the list below and set out on an adventure.

Looking for a family holiday on quiet cyclepaths? We highly recommend our White Peak Leisure cycling break in the Peak District.

All holidays include daily luggage transfers, a self-guided itinerary and nightly accommodation. You will need to bring your own bicycles. Check out how a self-guided cycling holiday works.
