An area of Northumberland has been named among the top cyclist-friendly locations in the United Kingdom.
The county is home to some fine cycle trails including Hadrian's Cycleway, the Reivers Route and the Coasts and Castles Route. And it's the Northumberland Coast AONB, where you'll find the latter route, that's made it into the top 20 cycle-friendly destinations in a study done using Google Trends data by staycation property marketplace Big-Cottages.com.
Home to 85 miles of the 192 mile Coasts and Castles route, which connects the Forth and Tyne estuaries in Edinburgh and Newcastle respectively, the Coasts and Castles route is also part of the world's longest international cycle route, the North Sea Cycle Route. It passes through seven countries along the North Sea: including Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Scotland.
