  • Where does the tour start and end?

    The tour starts and ends in Norwich, Norfolk, in the UK.

    If you‘re traveling by train your destination is Norwich. Group train station transfers are included in the holiday price and there will be a group transfer at 18.00 on Day 1 from Norwich train station to your accommodation.

    If you’d prefer to drive please let us know and we can let you know about parking options near the hotel. If you are planning to arrive into Norwich airport let us know and we can help arrange a transfer.

    At the end of the holiday a group transfer is provided at 09.30 to Norwich train station (5-10 mins) and then to Norwich Airport. It is recommended not to book any onward trains before 10:00 or flights before 12:00 on the final day.

  • How long is the tour? How many days cycling?

    The tour is 7 days long with 5 days of cycling.

  • What's the tour like?

    Norfolk isn’t totally flat and whilst the route never climbs above 100m you will enjoy some gradual ups and downs. The route is predominantly on road (around 80% of the time) but does involve some stretches on off-road surfaces that tend to ride well in most conditions. These are non-technical but can become slippy and/or sticky if it has been raining.

    The Rebellion Way uses one of Cycling UK’s seven long distance routes. Cycling UK is a charity organization that campaigns for a cleaner, happier and healthier world. Their aim is to encourage people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to cycle safely, easily, and enjoyably throughout the UK.

  • If I bring my own bike, what type of bikes are best?

    The non-technical, rolling nature of the route makes it perfect for a hybrid bike. Also suitable are gravel or touring bikes with appropriate tyres. Whilst it would be ok to bring a mountain bike along the ground operator recommends front suspension models with tyres with some tread rather than semi-slick tyres.

    If you are looking for the boost of an e-bike to help cover the distances on this holiday, there are electric bikes available to hire. You will need to be comfortable handling the bike on loose surfaces and manoeuvring the bike at the occasional gate. 

  • What's the weather like?

    When cycling in the UK it’s best to come prepared for sun and rain, warm and cold all in the same day – spring, summer and autumn.

    Although there can be wide variations, the monthly average temperature in the UK ranges from 9-12°C (48-54 Fahrenheit) in April, up to 17-20°C (63-68 Fahrenheit) in July, and then 11-14 °C (52-57 Fahrenheit) in October.

    At the beginning and end of the season (in March and late October) the weather can be a little less predictable and there could be some cooler / rainier days. In the summer months, temperatures can rise up into the thirties. This can differ from year to year.

    It’s highly recommended that you carry layers and a light waterproof with you along the way, (and sun cream in the summer months!) just in case the UK’s weather catches you unawares!

We had a really great time. Good group. Lovely experience. Francis was lovely throughout and we saw him go the extra mile to ensure we all had fun and were looked after. The experience of Richard and Francis was clear and they were always watching out for issues to sort…

 All five days of cycling were very enjoyable with a great variety of beautiful scenery (country lanes, forest, manicured estates, and coastal roads), a bit of interesting – but not challenging – off-road terrain (forest paths etc), and gentle rolling hills. My favorite was the fourth day – particularly varied…

(Review obtained from Tour Operator)

Tour leader was so polite and respected everyones challenges by offering support at any level, he performed without any show of impatience or display of discomfort in the extra task – quite the opposite. We were a very mixed bunch in ability and need and he was amazing. I haven’t…
