Ride from London to the canals and cobbled streets of Bruges, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities and known as the ‘Venice of the North.’ A wonderful cycling experience through the bike-friendly Low Countries.

You'll take the scenic route, heading out of London on quiet roads to Harwich, and cross by ferry to the Hook of Holland, before crossing low-lying Dutch Zeeland on fabulous cycle paths over a series of islands and sea barrages – a stunning ride which demonstrates some impressive engineering. From beautiful Vlissingen you'll take another ferry and, after a short, flat morning through West Flanders, follow canals into fairy-tale Bruges.
