England & Scotland: Lake District to EdinburghIf you’re looking for a cycling trip to England and Scotland that takes you far from the madding crowd, this is the one! With VBT’s insider access to remote corners of the British Isles, we’ll lead you over hill and dale through some of the most coveted regions of England and Scotland—including rides through the rugged, scenic Lake District, the remote and pristine expanse of Kielder Forest, and the sweeping vistas of the Honister Pass. Discover the ancient history of the British Isles during a stop at Hadrian’s Wall and the ancient Roman settlement of Vindolanda, as well as a memorable ride to the ancient Neolithic monument at Castlerigg Stone Circle. Pedal the charming, verdant valleys of Scotland, and enjoy the epitome of Scottish opulence at the Peebles Hydro Hotel, a Tweed Valley jewel featuring a luxury spa, Victorian baths, sauna, steam room, and on-site distillery. Along the way, our local British trip leaders unlock the region’s best-kept secrets: hidden shops, delightful restaurants, and the best place to find an authentic pint of English lager.
