Holiday Information

A unique cycling holiday in the UK along Northumberland’s stunning coastline, cycling past impressive castles and fortresses dating back to the Middle Ages. Our cycling holiday begins at the quaint village of Warkworth where the route travels northwards alongside the wide sandy beaches and dunes of Embleton, Newton-by-the-Sea and Bamburgh. You can then cross the tidal causeway (check the tide times!) to the historic Holy Island otherwise known as Lindisfarne, the place where the 8th Century Lindisfane Gospels were created.

This cycling holiday includes stunning views of the impressive castles of Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh, and Lindisfarne. The route then continues North to finish at the Elizabethan border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, with its impressive defenses built during many years of border wars. From Berwick-upon-Tweed we'll whisk you back to your car in Warkworth, or you can catch the train home from here.

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!

Holiday Feedback

Always happy to recommend Skedaddle to others.

Very good service from Skedaddle, Alison in particular, who managed to sort out all issues that arose from the group. This is the 4th time we’ve holidayed with Skedaddle and are always happy to recommend to others. Freshwater Bay Hotel was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful and had a ‘can do’ attitude. So many thoughtful touches e.g. fresh milk always available in mini bottles in a mini fridge. Extra towels and iron and board available on every corridor plus the snack room and food ordering system. Welcome walk and talk plus afternoon tea available on arrival helped everyone mix. Would definitely recommend. My favourite day was the day we cycled to Osborne house. Was nearly 40 miles round trip but we left early after breakfast and we were there by 11, managed to do all the main parts of house and gardens and left at 4. Slept well that night.

Loved the craziness of it all...

Both days were great in different ways. We got caught in a tremendous thunder storm on afternoon of first day. Found a pub & it had a fire burning. The landlord put mire logs on and got it going to try dry our socks and stuff (It’s June?) Second day, cycling along and people bleeped & waved that had sat with us in the pub. Then we‘re at Holy Island and we were stopped by several other people saying “We saw you two yesterday, soaked through in the pub.” Loved the craziness of it all and the interest strangers showed in our girly bike trip.
