Bikepacking from Morecambe to Bridlington

This classic coast-to-coast adventure takes you from Morecambe on the wild Irish Sea to Bridlington’s breezy North Sea shores—a true British rite of passage! Starting out in Morecambe, you can dip your wheels in the sea before riding east through rolling countryside, sleepy villages, and the open landscapes of northern England. More than 300km and nearly 2,800m of ascent make it a challenging but hugely rewarding ride.

Much of the route meanders along quiet roads and smooth cycleways, with a slice of gravel and a few climbs to keep things interesting. Expect stunning views of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors—plus plenty of welcoming pubs and cafes en route.

Arriving in Bridlington is just as iconic as your start; this lively seaside town boasts a sandy beach, a charming promenade, and plenty of fish and chips to reward your efforts. Whether you’re tracing the famous Way of the Roses route or just charting your own cross-country path, this ride packs big landscapes, friendly towns, and the unbeatable accomplishment of riding from one coast to the other!
