🚲✨ NEW TOUR: Olde Worlde England – A West Country Cycling Adventure

We’re delighted to introduce our newest cycling adventure: Olde Worlde England — a journey through the historic heart of the West Country, linking some of southern England’s most beautiful landscapes, towns and landmarks.

Over 261 miles / 420km, we’ll ride from Bristol and Bath through the Cotswolds, North Wessex Downs, Salisbury, Cranborne Chase and Somerset, with a wonderfully varied mix of quiet country lanes, rolling hills, traffic-free paths and cycleways.

And there’s plenty to stop and see along the way…

🏛️ Discover the Georgian splendour and Roman heritage of Bath
🌿 Ride through the golden-stone villages of the Cotswolds, including picture-perfect Castle Combe
🪨 Explore the prehistoric landscape of Stonehenge
⛪ Finish a day beneath the magnificent spire of Salisbury Cathedral
🌳 Pedal through the magnificent parkland of Longleat
⛰️ Climb Glastonbury Tor and explore the atmospheric town below
🌾 Cross the distinctive landscapes of the Somerset Levels
🧀 Finish with a spectacular ride through Cheddar Gorge and the Mendip Hills

With most days around 30–37 miles and plenty of time to stop for coffee, lunch and exploring, this is as much about discovering the West Country as it is about the cycling.

Think golden villages, ancient monuments, rolling chalk downs, historic towns, quiet lanes and some seriously beautiful riding 🚲

Olde Worlde England is now live on the Pedal Nation website: https://pedalnation.co.uk/tour-item/olde-worlde-england/

Our new tours are selling like hot cakes, so if you want to be sure of a place then book now!

It's Wednesday afternoon, and if you're anything like us here at Pedal Nation, your thoughts are already turning to your next cycling adventure this weekend. Or better still... why not start dreaming about next year's?

Today we're incredibly excited to unveil not one, but **three** brand new tours for 2027!

Introducing **Bohemia Rhapsody** – our very first cycling holiday in Czechia. Starting and finishing in Prague, this unforgettable adventure explores one of Europe's most underrated cycling destinations: a land of medieval towns, fairytale castles, ancient forests, rolling vineyards, dramatic river valleys and wonderfully quiet roads.

Fancy the adventure but not quite got 16 days spare? No problem. We've also split the route into two standalone tours, so you can choose either the **10-day Northern Loop** or the **6-day Southern Loop** – with the chance to come back and ride the other another time.

These are exactly the kind of routes we love creating. Not just great cycling, but genuine journeys of discovery that take you beyond the obvious and into places you'll remember long after the riding is over. 'Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?!'

We can't wait to share Bohemia Rhapsody with you. 🇨🇿🚴 Explore the main tour here: https://pedalnation.co.uk/tour-item/bohemia-rhapsody/

A fabulous journey around one of Europe’s most surprising cycling destinations. Starting and finishing in Prague, this Bohemia Rhapsody tour completes a circular tour of the Czechia which lies beyond its capital: a country of medieval towns, fairytale castles, deep forests, rolling vineyards, dram...

It's last chance saloon! Tonight's World Cup semi final clash between France and Spain will determine which holidays remain part of our World Cup special offer.

When the final whistle blows, the losing nation will be knocked out of the tournament – and £100 off Pedal Nation cycling holidays in that country will disappear with it.

So what will you be shouting tonight... allez allez or vamos vamos?

What we do know, is that whichever team you're backing, our Pedal Nation guides will be there cheering you on with plenty of "Allez!" and "¡Vamos!" on your next cycling holiday.

Book before the match kicks off and use discount code WC100 to guarantee your £100 saving on either destination.

Over the coming months we're giving every one of our tours a fresh new look.

You may already have spotted the revamped **Highland Fling** and **Scottish Lowland Saunter** pages, with more detailed day-by-day itineraries, route highlights, maps, elevation profiles and plenty of new photography. Our aim is simple: to give you a much better feel for what each tour is really like before you book—and hopefully inspire your next cycling adventure.

This morning it was the turn of our **Hadrian's Cycleway & Coast to Coast** holiday. Take a look at the new tour page here: https://pedalnation.co.uk/tour-item/hadrians-way-c2c/

While we were at it, we've also refined the route for 2027. Although it remains one of our Grade 3 tours, we've trimmed a few of the extra loops and optional ascent to make it a more comfortable fit within the grade—without losing any of the spectacular scenery or memorable riding.

In the meantime, enjoy a few photos from this wonderful corner of the country below. It turns out it isn't grim up north after all... it's absolutely bloomin' beautiful. 🚴‍♂️🌊⛰️

Too early to be thinking about your **2027 cycling holiday**? Apparently not... because people are already booking! 😄🚴

Our **2027 tour calendar is now live**, and every departure is open for bookings.

There are plenty of exciting new adventures to choose from. Our new Scottish tours – **Highland Fling** and **Scottish Lowland Saunter** – are already attracting lots of interest (and bookings!). **Iberia C2C** is available as one epic end-to-end journey or as two shorter stages. And we're putting the finishing touches to **Bohemia Rhapsody** and **Olde Worlde England**. Those tours are open for bookings too, but if you'd rather see the final itineraries first, simply register your interest by emailing us at [email protected] and we'll keep you updated.

We love an organised cyclist. Early bookings help us secure the best hotels, recruit our brilliant guides and make every tour even better.

So, if you're the sort of person who likes having next year's adventure in the diary before this year's tan has faded, now's the perfect time to start planning.

**Where will 2027 take you?** 🌍🚴

⚽ The World Cup quarter-finals are almost here... and there are still plenty of European teams in the hunt.

What does that mean for cyclists?

It means our **£100 World Cup discount** is still alive! 🚴

As long as a country's team is still in the tournament, you can save **£100** on any Pedal Nation holiday that travels through that country.

But once they're knocked out, so is the discount...

So if you're thinking about riding in **Spain, France, Belgium or England**, don't leave it until after the final whistle. The only way to guarantee your saving is to **book now** using code **WC100** at https://pedalnation.co.uk/book-a-cycle-tour/

Who'll make the semi-finals? Who'll be heading home? We'll soon find out.

*(Sadly we don't have any Swiss or Norwegian tours, let alone holidays in Argentina or Morocco... yet! 😉)*
