Hi all,
We're two cyclists planning a bike trip from London to Edinburgh in approximately 15 days. We're not intending to stop much to visit as we don't have enough time, sadly. The challenge is mainly to do the route from the start to the end!
That being said, we do wish to cross the nicest areas possible. But we're French and Brazilian, and we don't know much about the beautiful English countryside. Our plan so far is:
- London to Oxford
- Oxford to Leicester
- Leicester to Sheffield
- Sheffield to Manchester (Through Peak District National Park)
- Manchester to Liverpool
- Liverpool to Lancaster
- Lancaster to Keswick (Through the Lake District)
- Keswick to Hawick
- Hawick to Edinburgh
This is the first route we've planned, only according to cities we know. Now, as we don't have much time to visit the cities, we'd like to enjoy the countryside as much as we can while we cycle. That's why we're asking for your help and advice: We're considering changing this route from Sheffield to head more to the East side of the country without losing any day. But we have no idea what village/town is worth passing through! Any ideas?
We would like to know the places we should avoid and the ones we should stretch to discover Any idea is welcome.
Many many thanks in advance,
Carlo & Lola
