Coastal Cycles

There's nothing quite like cycling down way-marked coastal paths taking in the salty air, shimmering panoramas, and beautifully quaint seaside towns. Exploring by bike also means you can travel further, faster giving you ample opportunity to pause and soak in the sights, sounds and smells of your surroundings. At Headwater, we understand how rejuvenating it can feel to be by the water on holiday, which is why we've designed interest-packed, relaxing cycling trips that take you towards some of the most spectacular shorelines, rugged coasts and marble-carved seaside cities across the UK and Europe.

So, whether you're looking to explore the sleepy villages and bustling harbours along Croatia's Istrian Peninsula, enjoy a flat, coastal cycle before heading towards the Tramuntana Mountain Range in Mallorca or riding through the magnificent Gap of Dunloe in Kerry on a cycling trip closer to home, you're bound to find the perfect trip by the water.

Browse our collection of trips that hug the coast while riding down beautiful seaside paths towards traditional fishing villages, Baroque towns and idyllic beaches across the UK and Europe, or visit our blog for more inspiration…
