Bike Breaks: Unexpected Cycling-Ready Escapes for Bike Week & Sporty Summer Staycations

The weather is finally on our side and it’s time to experience the best of Britain on holiday from the saddle.

Cycling holidays offer something increasingly rare - the chance to truly connect with a destination. Landal’s UK resorts offer easy access to the quiet rhythm of country lanes and the freedom to pause wherever the landscape demands your attention.

With longer daylight hours, warm weather and UK Bike Week (from 8th June 2026) providing the perfect excuse to inspire everyone to get outdoors, there has never been a better time to plan a spontaneous escape or to plan a rewarding way to holiday at home this summer.

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist seeking a comfortable base to take on challenging routes or simply looking for a family-friendly adventure with two wheels on hire and wide-open spaces at your fingertips, then Landal's collection of contemporary resorts places some of the country's most scenic cycling territory right on your doorstep.

Whether you bring your own or want to hire bikes from the resort, here are a selection of family-friendly breaks for bike lovers from Landal UK:
