Great British Gravel Rides

Great British Gravel Rides celebrates the very best off‑road riding across England, Wales and Scotland, bringing together 25 hand‑picked routes chosen by some of Britain’s most passionate gravel cyclists. Curated by Markus Stitz, this collection lets you ride alongside the people who know these trails best — from round‑the‑world record holders to ultra‑endurance racers, local legends and champions of diversity in cycling.

Each rider shares what makes their chosen route special: the landscapes that inspire them, the challenges they love, and the moments that keep them coming back for more. You’ll join Mark Beaumont in East Lothian, explore East Anglia with Josh Ibbett and Gail Brown, cross Scotland with Jenny Graham, and discover the Borders with Aneela McKenna — all through their favourite gravel adventures.

Every route includes a detailed description of the trail, insights into the local area, what to expect under your tyres, and the best cafés, pubs and bike shops along the way. With stunning photography, bespoke maps and downloadable GPX files, this is a practical, inspiring guide for anyone who loves exploring Britain’s wild places on two wheels.

Whether you’re chasing a big day out in dramatic landscapes or just want a relaxed roll through beautiful countryside, Great British Gravel Rides is your starting point for unforgettable off‑road adventures.
