England’s stunning Coast to Coast cycle route takes riders across the country. Cycle from Whitehaven harbour on the Irish Sea through the Lake District and Peninnes to the shores of the North Sea at Tynemouth.
The Coast to Coast by bike offers a superb cycle path that immerses you in Northern England’s scenery. Take in the Cumbrian Lakes and Fells, the bleak Pennines, beautiful Dales, and postcard perfect hamlets and villages. Along the way you should find plenty of time to enjoy a traditional cream tea, have a pub lunch and stop at interesting historical and industrial sites. Right at the end of the route you'll find a pub to leave your hire bikes and celebrate your completion of the famous C2C.
The Coast to Coast by bike is different from Wainwright’s famous walking trail, and is nicknamed the C2C - Sea to Sea.
