The Bike8

We created the Bike8 in 2011 to piece together the best bits of riding in Britain. It's a 1600-mile figure-of-eight route through England, Scotland and Wales, comprising a northern and southern loop. You can browse the four features from the magazine below, and download it for reference. Beneath that are Google maps of the four legs of the route for more detail, including route plans.
