Classic Road Cycling Holidays

If you love to see the world from two wheels and enjoy a healthy break in the fresh air (peppered with a liberal smattering of spectacular views of some of the finest scenery in Europe and beyond), but off-road mountain biking isn't your thing, then don't fret: there are a whole host of opportunities to explore all that Britain and Europe have to offer via broad roads and quiet country lanes from the saddle.

Whether you want gentle rides through the Cotswolds or to experience the majesty of North Wales, the UK boasts some great road biking holidays, and further afield you'll find great cycling past Chateaux along the Loire and coast-to-coast routes through the varied and beautiful scenery of Italy, plus far more besides.

Check out some of the best road cycling holidays that you can reach by train or ferry below.
