Explore the wilds of Northumberland on a 174-mile ride along Reivers Route. Less-descriptively known as National Cycle Route 10, Reivers Route delves through the English and Scottish territories once ravaged by the Border Reivers: families who turned bloodily on their neighbours to survive in a region starved by military strife.
Here, hills have foundations in old castle ruins, local manors are fortified with thick walls and pele towers, and the churchyards hold the graves of marauders and robbers. There's wooded wilderness, too, and isolated stretches through rural Northumberland.
If you're looking for adventure, this is the cycling holiday for you.
Enjoying the remoteness of Reivers Route, from grass and heather moorland to the glacial rocks and views across to the Cheviot Hills.
Riding through the dense evergreen forest of Kielder on sweeping roads alongside the reservoir, or sampling the route's optional off-road section between the trees.
Rolling along the coast on the ride into Whitehaven, with a dedicated cyclepath along the beach.
