Holiday Information

This UK family cycling holiday takes you along the northern boundary of the Roman Empire, starting and finishing at either end of Hadrian’s Wall utilising the National Cycle Network as you cycle coast to coast.

Cycling along you'll follow in the footsteps of Roman soldiers, whilst experiencing some of the rich heritage that Cumbria and Northumberland have to offer.

This coast to coast cycling holiday boasts open hill country, peaceful river valleys and a finish in the vibrant city of Newcastle. You will be supported all the way by a vehicle carrying bike spares and tools and a Skedaddle driver who provides refreshments and lunch en-route.

Accommodation is in well-appointed bed and breakfasts, inns or small family run hotels. Breakfasts and picnic lunches are provided and evening meals can be taken in restaurants or pubs close to the accommodation.

If you're looking for a cycling holiday suitable for families on quiet roads, traffic free paths and National Cycle Network routes - then Hadrian's Cycleway is the holiday for you. You can read more about the experiences of a family that joined one of our supported trips on our blog 'Skedaddle Twaddle'.

Holiday Feedback

Our guide was brilliant!

We had a good laugh with our guide, Les, he is very likeable. More importantly though his group leadership skills were excellent. He managed the two families who cycled at different paces very well. He took safety very seriously and actually drove down to us on difficult parts of the route to check we were ok. Very impressed with Les. The children really liked him too and we all had good banter.

The holiday was quite expensive but but we did receive a lot of support which is what we paid for to have peace of mind, our daily lunches were also great, we did not expect such a spread- great to see that sight and to look out for the van!
