Coast to Coasts

I’ve enjoyed exploring the island of Britain by cycling coast-to-coast in various ways. Here’s a selection.


Standard Coasts to Coasts

I’ve done all the conventional coast-to-coast trips, and some less conventional ones.

The most popular is the C2C (Coast to Coast, aka Sea to Sea), with the more recent Way of the Roses a close second.

You can read my article for Cycling UK comparing all the routes here.

(The TPT is nowhere near as accessible as I said, though. The Glasgow-Edinburgh route – not mentioned in that article – is almost all car-free on a tarmac canal towpath: good for families and dawdling.)

Plenty to choose from
Way of the Roses Morecambe to Bridlington
C2C (Coast to Coast) Whitehaven to Sunderland
Trans Pennine Trail Southport to Hornsea
Hadrian’s Cycleway Bowness to Newcastle
Reivers Route Newcastle to Carlisle
W2W (Walney to Wear) Barrow to Sunderland
Ravenglass to Ravenscar
Glasgow to Edinburgh

Rhyming Rides

I love the serendipity of the arbitrary. This series of rides linked places on opposite coasts of Britain that just happen to rhyme.

Barmouth to Yarmouth has been done by a few people, but the others are even more niche.

I haven’t included Flamborough to Bamburgh (F2B) here, because although it rhymes, they’re on the same coast, so I won’t link to it or even mention it.

If you have any suggestions of additional rhyming coast-to-coasts (such as Rye to Cley, which may be allowed in certain dialects, and which I may do at some point) do let me know.

Not just any rhymes, you know. They must be on opposite coasts.
Mull to Hull (M2H)
Dunbar to Stranraer (D2S)
Barrow to Jarrow (B2J)
Barmouth to Yarmouth (B2Y)
Lynmouth to Teignmouth (L2T)
Poole to Goole (P2G)
