Experience six spectacular days of riding through England’s literary landscapes as you pedal across Yorkshire.

Your journey across England will take you through Yorkshire, from Lancaster to York, weaving through three national parks as you pedal your way to the coast and the picturesque old fishing village of Robin’s Hood Bay. In a region steeped in history, you'll enjoy deep-rooted traditions such as English cream teas and ride along peaceful country roads through the heart of wild hills and purple-heather moors. While cycling past verdant pastures speckled with flocks of sheep, soak in the timeless charm of local pub life in small towns along the way, and learn why this special region has long been the inspiration for so much classic literature and poetry. Ride, relax, and simply enjoy our enchanting England Coast to Coast bike tour.

My trip was the best vacation of my life. I expected it to be good (friends highly recommended it), but it was even better. I feel like I drastically underpaid. Everything, from the design of the trip to the accommodations to the guides (especially the guides) were fantastic. I don't know what else to say except that the trip exceeded my expectations in every way.

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Road conditions: Very low traffic each day, you will see more sheep than cars on the road. This trip appeals to a more experienced rider because there are a few steep climbs on the route, with lots of ascents and descents.
  • Packing: Layers! Layering is the best way to regulate your body temperature. This tried-and-true strategy is all about slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes. Rain gear is a must.
  • Look right and keep left! In England, you cycle on the left side of the road along with traffic. Extra attention and caution are required as you ride, cross intersections, and enter traffic circles if this is the opposite side of the road that you are accustomed to.
  • Please note that the bikes you will ride on this trip are aluminium frames with mechanical shifting, which differs from our standard fleet. See the Bikes & Guides section for more information.
