Holiday Information

Utilising the National Cycle Network, this cycling holiday in the UK travels along the northern boundary of the Roman Empire, starting and finishing at either end of Hadrian’s Wall. This wonderful cycling break follows in the footsteps of Roman soldiers, allowing you to experience some of the rich heritage that Cumbria and Northumberland have to offer.

From cycling in open hill country, through peaceful river valleys and finishing at the North Sea at Tynemouth, the route passes through some of the most beautiful parts of England and skirts a number of fascinating Roman sites including Birdoswald Fort, Walltown Quarry, Great Chesters Fort and Vindolanda.

After arriving into Newcastle you spend the first night in this vibrant city before we transfer you to Bowness-on-Solway and the start of your ride which ends 100 miles later in Tynemouth where we will meet you and transfer you back to Newcastle for your onward journey home.

This self-guided trip is for a minimum of 2 people and accommodation, transfers, luggage transfers and emergency back up are all included. We also provide detailed route notes and maps to enable you to do the route self-guided. Nothing could be simpler!

If you’re looking for a cycling holiday on quiet roads, traffic free paths and National Cycle Network routes - then Hadrian's Cycleway is the holiday for you!

This trip can also be done as a 2, 3 or 6 day version as well as a supported 3 day trip. If you're interested in doing this holiday with children, then check out our family version of this trip.

Holiday Feedback

Fantastic customer service from Skedaddle...

We enjoyed the whole experience, the notes especially were very helpful as we have a tendency to get lost! The daily cycle route information provided was a lifesaver, and it was so nice to not have to worry about lugging all the bags along due to the luggage transfers provided.

You were all so patient with our pre trip questions and so helpful when we changed our pick up plans on the last day. Absolutely fantastic customer service from Saddle Skedaddle.

Overall it was an excellent experience...

We felt well supported throughout our cycling holiday. The service provided was both friendly and practical. All of our questions and concerns were answered and it was great to be able to drop into the Hub to meet those who had helped us.

Mark, County Down
The holiday was outstanding, well worth the money...

We enjoyed every day, each day was differant and brought its own highlights! We had excellent customer service from Peter who was our Skedaddle representative.

Perrin, Nottinghamshire
Great customer service...

Thanks for a great holiday. All BnB’s were great and had secure storage for the bikes and the bag transfers were all completed without a hitch. The info and directions that Steve gave us for the ride along route 72 were spot on and what great customer service all you guys have supplied before and during our holiday. We totally have the bug for more!

Excellent

This was a once in a lifetime adventure for my wife and I. This was for our 40th wedding anniversary. I am 69 and she is 64. This was a real luxury for us, but worth every penny.

Excellent cycling

Excellent cycling – relatively gentle, plus fabulous scenery to enjoy!

Warren, Wakefield
Well organised with good accommodation!

Have previously done a self organised C2C – but this took the hassle out of the holiday and provded much better accommodation. Two of our party hired bikes and although I love my bike – the quality of the bikes were good enough for me to coinsider doing without the hassle of transporting my own long distance.

Price, Gloucestershire
Holiday went like clockwork...

A big thank you to everyone who made our holiday so terrific. It is a long way to come if things go wrong, but our holiday went like clockwork. Would certainly recommend this holiday to everyone. (A friend recommended it to us)!

Janeene, Australia
Good...

This was our first holiday with Skedaddle and we were not sure what to expect. We are both pensioners and were not sure of our cycling limitations. We need not have worried, if anything the first and last days were too easy and we could have completed it in 3 days cycling. Hadrian’s Wall route was well sign posted.
