Charming Cycle Paths

That feeling of cycling along quiet country lanes is something that can't be beaten. From the gentle breeze and the sun on your back to the beautiful countryside views that greet you at every turn, cycling off-the-beaten-track offers the perfect respite from city life. And while we've all loved exploring the nature trails in our own backyard, we're still dreaming of the time when we can get back to exploring the European countryside. One of the great benefits of exploring by bike is that you can travel, further, faster which gives you more time to soak up the area's history, culture and regional cuisine. So, take a look through our selection of Cycling Holidays from our Countryside Collection to inspire your next adventure.

With so many spectacular trails to choose from, why not explore the truffle-growing valleys and ancient vineyards in Italy on our Taste of Tuscany Cycling trip, ride past iconic windmills and tulip-filled fields in Haarlem during our Pearls of Holland Cycling or take in the beautiful coastal paths and countryside lanes while pedalling from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic.

Enjoy the best of both worlds, combining charming countryside cycling with a myriad of cultural delights. Browse our fantastic Countryside Cycling Collection below to inspire your next getaway, or visit our blog for more inspiration…
