Cycling Country Lanes & Traffic-Free Family Routes
Welcome to our Cycling Country Lanes series. Our purpose is to provide clear, easy to use and easy to follow cycling maps. We illustrate: a) Our commissioned circular routes in purple. b) Traffic-Free Family Cycling Trails (e.g. The Granite Way, Camel Trail, High Peak Trails), and c) The National Cycle Network routes (e.g. NCN27, NCN1 etc). We work very closely with Sustrans (The National Cycle Network) to provide their up-to-date routes. The scale of our mapping (from 1:100,000 to 1:126,720) is designed to be ideal for touring the UK's cycle paths and minor roads. We have been producing these maps for the past 15 years and welcome all feedback. In that time we have also received some wonderful reviews from the Cycling Press - please see below.
“Extremely clear, accurate and easy to follow…laminated surface a real bonus.” Cycle Touring and Campaigning Magazine
“Perhaps you need a better map – or, more accurately, you need the new collection of Country Lanes and Byways cycling guides from Goldeneye covering beauty spots from the Cotswolds to Cornwall, and carefully prepared to keep you on the bendy and narrow, rather than the fast and four-lane.” Sunday Times Travel section.
The Simplicity of Good Design gives these Maps the edge....for your enjoyment and Peace of Mind. Happy Cycling!

Hampshire is a land of tree-tunnelled sunken lanes, thatched cottages with gardens full of flowers, hazel copses, clear chalk streams and rivers. Despite the ever expanding urbanisation of the south of England, inland Hampshire remains much as it always was with little obvious change to its villages and their network of single-track lanes. As the chalk of the South Downs has lost much of its height by the time it reaches Hampshire most of the ridiging is on the easy side with few climbs that could be classed as more than moderate. The New Forest is, understandably one of the most popular tourist destinations in Britain yet it is easy to escape the crowds on a bike on one of the many well-signed cycle trails that cross the area. |

These differing landscapes offer some of the best country lane cycling in Britain. In the Tissington, Manifold and High Peak Trails, the White Peak has some of the longest converted railway tracks in the country.

Snowdonia is known as the 'Land of the Eagles' in Welsh and conjures up images of steep and craggy mountains crossed by rushing streams. Whilst this is true for the area around Snowdon, budding cyclists will be pleased to learn that just outside of this area, the terrain is fairly gentle. With a network of quiet country lanes, and a number of old railway tracks recently converted into cycle-ways, the choice of routes is excellent. Almost all of the routes on this map are found in this more gentle area. One or two are challenging and some have long uphill sections but most of the riding is not too difficult. And, when the sun shines, the magnificent views of mountains, moors, and the coastline will make your efforts worthwhile. |
