      Balancing Adventure and Relaxation

      Gravel biking combines the essence of road and mountain biking, offering the thrill of riding off-road. Gravel riders can tackle a variety of terrains, including gravel paths, forest trails, and narrow single track.

      Designed with extended frames and wider tyres, gravel bikes handle rough ground better than road bikes while also being faster and more rigid than mountain bikes. This balance makes gravel adventures both comfortable and efficient, inviting riders to explore scenic, less-travelled routes and immerse themselves in nature.

      By placing the joy of the journey at its centre rather than being focused on times, miles and power output, ‘gravel’ is more of a state of mind than anything else. Enjoy riding through beautiful wild landscapes, visiting pretty, bustling villages, and exploring interesting historical sites. The capability of a gravel bike means travelling further faster but without forgoing comfort or being able to link up cafes on quiet secondary roads. Joined by an experienced bike guide who knows the best coffee and caramel cake spots, there’s no need to worry about directions, accommodations, meals or mechanicals.

      Moreover, a gravel biking trip is a sustainable holiday choice. Travelling under your own power offers a mindful, responsible way to discover new places. With most of your time spent outdoors, you’re more likely to glimpse wildlife like deer grazing in the heather clad hills and red squirrels scampering through ancient pine forests. There’s also nothing quite like arriving at your accommodation, unclipping your shoes, shaking out your helmet hair, and savouring a well-earned dinner after a day in the saddle.
