There is no better way to explore the delights of Kent than on two wheels. The county’s charming countryside, attractive villages and varied coastline offer cyclists a refreshing and enriching experience.

Pedal along the stunning chalk cliffs of the North Downs, discover unspoilt beaches or explore the quiet winding lanes and villages of the beautiful Wealden countryside, all at a relaxed pace.

Kent is well known as the Garden of England and is renowned for its hop fields, orchards and distinctive oast houses. Kent is steeped in history too and its cycle routes take you past castles, old churches, historic houses as well as numerous splendid and celebrated gardens.

Kent is just a stone's throw away from London, making it an ideal destination for a day's cycling. The extensive range of good quality accommodation on offer, from B&Bs with oak-beamed barns to first class beach huts and hotels, mean that Kent is also a fabulous location for longer cycling holidays.

Visitors from home and abroad looking to sample the delights of exploring Kent on two wheels are also well catered for. Capital Sport offers cycling tours with luggage transfers, breakdown support and hand-picked B&B or hotel accommodation.
