Cycling holidays in Lincolnshire
Find your perfect cycling holiday in Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire is situated in England’s East Midlands, running from the Humber Estuary down to The Wash, and is one of the country’s most welcoming but least discovered cycling destinations. It’s a county of contrasts; with the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds gradually making way to the flatlands of the Fens and Marshes in the south, and with miles of stunning coastline to the east.
It’s a wonderfully diverse county to explore by bike. From the charming cathedral city of Lincoln, with its quaint cobbled streets, boutique shops and vibrant centre, out into the wide-open spaces and vast skies of the surrounding countryside, you’ll find countless hidden gems to explore.
Ride in the presence of history at Lincoln Castle, past stately homes and historic houses like Burghley House and Normanby Hall, or perhaps take the Water Rail Way to the east of Lincoln and explore the beautiful, award-winning village of Woodhall Spa and find out about the pivotal role it played in aviation history.
Each of our cycle routes have been crafted to allow the visitor to experience different aspects of this great county.
