New long-distance cycle routes
Since 2018 we’ve created breathtaking long-distance cycle routes across the UK, inspiring thousands of riders like you to take to the countryside, enjoying the very best of the UK’s natural landscapes and historic landmarks.
These routes aren’t just journeys - they’re opportunities for friendship, memory-making and a great sense of achievement as you pedal that final mile.
In 2025 and beyond, we want to develop more of these routes so you and generations to come can explore our spectacular landscapes by cycle. We would like to invite you to be part of this new route and bring more awe-inspiring miles of riding into reality.
And what's more for every £1 you donate before June 20, the Gill Foundation will kindly match your gift so you can double your impact*.
Donate today to bring new, awe-inspiring cycling adventures to life with the first of our new routes launching in summer 2025.
We need £42,000 to create a new route.
Be part of the journey. Give now to inspire new adventures.
