    Summary

    For a coast to coast cycling holiday with a difference, why not cycle the length of Hadrian's Wall, and take some time to cycle to the amazing ancient castles, Roman remains and museums close to this World Heritage Site? Along this amazing cycle route you'll find lots of locally produced food and drink to sample and bustling cities, market towns and quaint villages to explore by bicycle. 

    Your ride along the Solway coast has never-ending views to Scotland with abundant bird life and Northumberland brings wonderful, remote moorland, steeped in Roman history. With sites like Vindolanda and Housesteads along the route it is well worth taking your time to enjoy every mile of this wonderful ride. You can decide how many days of cycling your Hadrian's Wall C2C biking trip should last - from 2 to 5 days and choose between a self-guided or fully supported cycling holiday.
