cycling holidays in the Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight is a great location for cycling holidays, with the whole island being a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We have two luxury resorts called Woodside Coastal Retreat and Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat which are based near Cowes. This is where the stunning Red Squirrel Trail begins. This scenic cycling route is mostly made up of disused railway lines and will take you past countless wildlife habitats including woodlands and farming countryside. As the name of the trail suggests, you should also look out for red squirrels which can regularly be seen in the woodland areas.
Another popular cycling route on the Isle of Wight is the Sunshine Trail which at 12 miles in length is suitable for a variety of skill levels. This route has a total ascent of 171m and maximum elevation of 111m, passing through New Church, Horringford, Godshill, Shanklin and Sandtown allowing you to really get in touch with the culture of the area.
North Wales cycling holidays
Our Talacre Beach Resort is a great place to stay if you are looking for family cycling holidays in North Wales.
This five star rated resort is located right next to the start point of a 34 mile dedicated cycle path which runs from Talacre to Penmaenmawr and is called the North Wales Coast Cycle Route, so there is no need for a car journey. The route takes you through Prestatyn, Rhyl, Kinmel Bay, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Conwy along the way and offers stunning coastal views.
Alternatively, if you are willing to take the short trip down to Connah’s Quay in your car, you can then take advantage of the River Dee Path which runs through to the historic city of Chester. Go through the North Wales countryside and cross the border into one of England’s most classy city’s with its famous Roman walls and top quality eateries.
