One of the best ways to explore the South East of England is by bicycle. Not only do you get to meet the locals and experience the beautiful cities and countryside first hand, but you get some wonderful fresh air and healthy exercise at the same time. Now more than ever, since covid-19, taking to two wheels is a very popular way to explore our landscapes.

The network of traffic free cycle paths, bridleways and quiet country lanes all contribute to literally 100s of miles of great cycling routes. And there are plenty of guilt-free pub stops thrown in too!

There are any number of ways to enjoy the cycling experience. For families wanting a quiet day out with the children the traffic free cycle routes provide a safe haven for youngsters just learning to ride.

The ride through Windsor Great Park has the added bonus of spectacular views of Windsor Castle. For some history, take the Tudor Trail from Tonbridge to Hever Castle in Kent.

On the Isle of Wight the traffic free trail from Cowes to Sandown on the Isle of Wight provides a great (non-hilly) way to explore the island and its coastline. For the off road enthusiast the South Downs Way National Park, linking the 100 miles from Winchester to Eastbourne on the south coast, provides a more than challenging ride.

Alternatively, why not experience the New Forest National Park with its unique landscape that has been shaped over the centuries by grazing ponies, cattle and pigs which roam free. The New Forest has a wealth of cycle routes for all ages and abilities and free parking nearby.

If you fancy half a day or a day away amongst incredible scenery, traditional English villages, historical sites, hidden valleys, woodlands and heaths then let The Surrey Explorer take you on one of his many all inclusive guided bike tours in the Surrey Hills AONB. Bikes, helmets, water and snacks will be provided so all you need to do is turn up.

The Countryside CodeWe encouage you to enjoy the countryside at every opportunity, it is so good for our well being. However, whilst you are out and about remember to follow the Countryside Code.  RESPECT - PROTECT - ENJOY. This code contains advice for the public and landowners, making it easier for visitors to help respect, protect and enjoy the outdoors.
