Self-Guided Walking and Cycling Tours
No-hassle self-guided adventure holidays in the UK
Discover the UK at your own pace with our self-guided walking and cycling tours. With tried and tested routes, carefully designed by local experts, we handle all the planning and the prep, so that you can just walk, ride and enjoy.
Our Self-guided tours
Be as active as you like, with varying distances available each day for the novice walker through to the experienced cyclist. We’ll take care of access, suggest historical points of interest and highlight any tricky bits you might encounter, so that you can be confident your route is well thought out and perfectly safe. Along the way, we’ll tell you where to find the most stunning views and point out the best local pubs, cafes and restaurants. We’ll even take into account the daily weather forecast and prevailing winds.
With the start of our tours all sitting within easy reach of major cities and transport hubs, and all luggage transfers, accommodation, maps and GPS instructions provided, you’ll be free to explore without any of the hassle. From the Cotswolds to Cornwall, hiking along the coast to cycling through leafy valleys and woodlands, there’s an Active England tour for everyone.
Self-guided Plus+
Available on our self-guided cycling tours, Self-guided Plus+ combines the freedom of a regular self-guided cycling trip with the added re-assurance of an expert Active England guide – a halfway house between a guided and self-guided trip, if you will.
During your tour, we’ll offer daily morning support, route guidance for each day of your trip and attend to any nagging bike issues as they happen. Plus if any riders in your group need a shuttle, we can handle that quickly and efficiently too.
A Self-guided Plus+ bike tour is for those whose who are less confident about their bike maintenance or for international visitors looking for a higher level of support than a traditional self-guided tour.
