Summary
With picturesque landscapes, charming towns, beautiful coastal scenery and fascinating historical sites, Southern Scotland offers the very best cycling holiday experience for anyone who loves cycling, from novice leisure cyclists to serious road bikers. The Kirkpatrick coast to coast cycle route is a brand new road biking challenge, covering 250 miles of peaceful country roads over rolling countryside from Portpatrick, on the Irish Sea coast, to Eyemouth, south of Edinburgh overlooking the North Sea. The roads are quiet and meandering, the hills rolling and peaceful, the views spectacular and the welcome warm and friendly.

The Kirkpatrick C2C biking route travels through Dumfriesshire, where Kirkpatrick Macmillan, blacksmith and inventor, built the first wooden-framed pedal bicycle over 200 years ago. The whole region is seeped in history, with old tweed mills, Victorian stone viaducts and romantic ruined abbeys peppering the coast to coast route which meanders along beautiful coastline, through pretty harbour towns and through quiet rural countryside. The perfect setting for a fabulous cycling holiday.
