Overview

Starting in the most westerly point of the British Isles, Land’s End, the ride traverses the hilly Cornish terrain before a tough stretch up and over the spectacular Dartmoor landscape. Aiming for a night in the beautiful Roman City of Bath, the ride will take you through the Mendips, including the famous Cheddar Gorge. From Bath, you’ll cross the River Severn into Wales and skirt the Welsh border before entering western England.

The latter half of the trip takes you through the breathtaking Lake District for a rest day and traversing the stunning Scottish Highlands. The final leg will have you following the remote north coast of Scotland to the most north eastern point of the UK, John O’Groats. The journey of roughly 1,000 miles will be a true test and one which will never be forgotten. What more rewarding way could there be to see the beauty of the UK?
