Guided, Supported Bicycle Tours in England

The Iron Donkey offers two one-week (7 nights) guided group tours in England. Each itinerary is limited to 12 participants, so early booking is advisable.

The tours are guided by Tony Boyd, the Iron Donkey himself. Tony, who lived in the West of England for several years, mapped the routes and designed the itineraries. Both tours start and finish in Bath – and if your schedule allows we recommend that you consider spending an extra night or two in this beautiful city before or after the bike tour.

If one particular region evokes the classical English images of picture postcard villages, thatched cottages, medieval churches, ancient inns, and clear streams bubbling through a rural idyll, it is surely the Cotswolds. If you only get to tour by bicycle once in England, then the Cotswolds is a region that should figure high on your list of desirable options. Every village along the wonderful biking routes is a new delight just begging to be explored.
