Northumberland National Park is an excellent place to start with several way marked cycle routes in this expanse of beautiful countryside, rivers and valleys.
The Hadrian's Cycleway is also very popular with its views of the countryside and Roman forts around this famous landmark.
The routes from Silloth and Haltwhistle below make up the last 2 legs of this route with the first starting in Cumbria.
Also popular is the C2C route which passes through the county with both routes starting in Whitehaven and downloadable from the links below.
