Everyday Adventures on the National Cycle Network

There are 5,273 miles of traffic-free paths on the National Cycle Network. 

We've picked out the best trails for beginners, the top stops for foodies, easy rides to the UK's favourite tourist destinations and much, much more. All found on the National Cycle Network. Have a browse, get inspired, get outdoors and remember to share #MyEverydayAdventure to help encourage others to do the same this summer.

Get your friends together for a bike ride

We've put together our favourite traffic-free routes with cultural destinations. Be inspired and get out on the National Cycle Network this autumn.

Are you looking for National Cycle Routes in Wales? Or a bike ride along the North East of England coastline? Perhaps the best short traffic-free walks near Glasgow? 

We have all of the Network's traffic-free routes organised and categorised to help you find an everyday adventure on the National Cycle Network near you.

Find your feet on a walking adventure

Each year millions of people get outdoors and enjoy the National Cycle Network. But it might be surprising to hear that the majority of people on the routes will enjoy them by foot.

Traffic-free paths provide a safe and memorable way to explore our cities, towns and countryside and there really is no easier everyday adventure than a leisurely amble on your local route.

Everyday Adventures photography competition

Throughout the summer you've been showing us your great photos of adventures on the National Cycle Network in our competition. We're pleased to announce the winning entries and runners-up in each of the categories.
