Potholes & Pavements (England’s National Cycle Network)
The National Cycle Network is a linked set of 12,000 miles of walking and cycling routes across the UK, developed by transport charity Sustrans. Nearly half the network is traffic-free, with clear signage including route numbers, which link to train stations and ferry terminals.
Popular routes include:
- The Sea to Sea Route starts on Cumbria’s west coast in Whitehaven, working 140 miles through the Lake District and historic towns.
- The Bristol to Bath Path follows an old 13-mile railway path, linking two very different cities.
- The London Cycle Network includes major routes like the Thames Path and Regent’s Canal Path, combining iconic landmarks and green spaces.
