If you\u2019re a cycling enthusiast and are looking to get out and explore this Summer then here are 7 of the best cycling routes across the UK that you need to tackle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Lakeland Loop &#8211; Lake District<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Lakeland Loop has been voted numerous times as the very best bike ride in Britain. It&#8217;s a near 70-mile long cycling route that has absolutely everything you could wish for as a cyclist looking for an adventure &#8211; from stunning lakeside views to sharp climbs and twisting descents. If you\u2019ve yet to tackle this famous cycling trail then what are you waiting for?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Monsal Trail &#8211; Peak District<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The 8.5-mile long Monsal Trail runs through a small yet beautiful part of the Derbyshire Peak District &#8211; featuring some of its most stunning limestone dales. Monsal Trail is also home to four former railway tunnels of the Midland Railway Line that closed in 1968. The tunnels were opened to the public in 2011 and are each about 400 metres long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fallowfield Loop &#8211; Manchester<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At roughly 8 miles long, the Fallowfield Loop in Greater Manchester is one of Britain\u2019s largest urban cycleways and a former local railway route. The route is flat and well surfaced, making it a perfect choice for cyclists just getting started or those looking for a simple ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Assynt Achiltibuie Circuit &#8211; Scottish Highlands<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For the cyclist after a real on-road challenge, there is nothing better than the 70-mile long Assynt Achiltibuie Circuit. The route follows some of the gorgeous Assynt coastline before heading inland. It\u2019s a challenging route with lots of hills and descents, taking you up to Loch Assynt and Ardvreck Castle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kent Coastal Castles Ride &#8211; Kent<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Route 1 on the National Cycle Network, the Kent Coastal Castles Ride, starts at Deal railway station and ends at St Margaret&#8217;s at Cliffe. The route features a mix of promenade paths and quiet lanes and is mostly tarmac. It provides plenty of glorious views, including those of the historic Deal Castle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hamsterley Forest &#8211; Durham<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With 2000 hectares of scenic woodland, Hamsterley Forest is a great cyclist destination with various routes available to tackle. The forest also contains a range of thrilling single track sections &#8211; making it a mountain biker&#8217;s paradise!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Causeway Coast Cycle Route &#8211; Northern Ireland<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For our Northern Irish readers or those who don\u2019t mind travelling that bit further to a great cycling route, the Causeway Coast route offers 23 miles of quiet roads and traffic-free cycle paths.
