Synopsis

This guidebook features the best traffic-calmed cycle routes of southern England, together forming a continuous route from Dover or Harwich, via London and Bristol to Devon and Cornwall. The book offers full east-west route directions, high-profile maps, visitor information, accommodation listings and a code to obtain GPS-tracks of the routes. The route has full connectivity with Dover, Harwich and Plymouth international ferry ports and train stations such as London Bridge, London Paddington, Bristol Temple Meads and Penzance. The book contains 940 miles (1200 kilometers) of routes.

From Dover and Harwich via either the fruit orchards of Kent or pleasant countryside in Essex, both routes merge at Woolwich Ferry to take on Britain’s capital city. Cycling through the heart of London is mostly via towpaths along the River Thames with additional green routes in Greenwich Park, Hyde Park, Richmond Park and Windsor Park. You’ll be heading west via the Avon & Kennet Canal. In Wiltshire you have the choice to cycle either by Stonehenge or Avebury. The route continues to magnificent Bath and bustling Bristol to seaside Clevedon with its striking views over the Bristol Channel.

The route continues via the charming Strawberry Line to famous Cheddar.The Somerset Levels provide the last section of truly flat cycling, because from Taunton the big climb starts into Exmoor National Park. From Barnstaple the splendid Tarka Trail provides easy cycling on a former railway. You can choose here to cycle to Plymouth from where you can cross the English Channel to France. The route into Cornwall continues via Bude, Tintagel Castle, the beautiful Camel Trail, Newquay and Penzance to the spectacular headlands of Land’s End and Cape Cornwall.
