Some notes on which route
might suit you best.

The coast to coast (C2C / Sea to Sea) cycle route from the west coast of Cumbria to the North Sea
|
 |
This is a 102 mile route from either Ilfracombe or Bude on the north coast of Devon to Plymouth on the south coast. It is a wonderful route taking in coasts, estuaries and beaches, plus The Granite Way on the flank of Dartmoor, the Plym Valley Trail and the famous Tarka Trail.
|
With Sustrans maps now out of print, the route from Derby to Berwick-upon-Tweed can be followed using these maps.
|
|
174 mile route from Ravenglas on the west coast to South Shields on the east coast. A newer route, growing in popularity. Does not have the steepest of the C2C's hills. Plenty of Roman history and tea shops.
|
170 mile route from Tynemouth on the east coast to Whitehaven on the west coast. Often treated as a reverse route to the C2C or the next challenge after the C2C. Usually completed in 4 days. Without the steepest of the C2C hills, but covering some wilder and lonelier parts of the country, and longer.
|
|
151 mile route from Barrow-in-Furness on the west coast to Sunderland on the east coast. A new route, taking in the Cumbrian coast, the Pennines and county Durham. Finishes at the eastern end of the C2C and has a link route to the western end of the C2C at Whitehaven.
|
215 mile route from Southport on the west coast to Hornsea on the east coast. The longest of the coast to coast challenges, with a mix of country and town, hill and coast riding.
