Cycling Holiday-a Cheap Holiday Ideas

Let's take a look at some of the top cycling holiday destinations to help you find the best biking break for you.

The Camel Trail, Cornwall

As the recession bites, a 'staycation' has become the last word in travel chic. Cornwall has something for everyone, from surfing and affordable campsites for students to large coastal cottages for students, as well as luxurious hotels on the seafront, making it one of the UK's favourite holiday destinations.

The Camel Trail takes you through the scenic Cornish countryside along a former railway line. Hire a bike in the town of Wadebridge and enjoy the full 16 miles of secluded cycle paths, leading to the famous harbour town of Padstow, home to Rick Stein's renowned seafood restaurant as well as a branch of Jamie Oliver's Fifteen. Choosing the bike over the car means you may have some pennies left over to spend on some of Cornwall's gastronomic delights.

Alternatively, to keep it within budget, you could simply refuel with a bag of chips or a delicious Cornish pasty, looking out over the harbour! Cheap and environmentally friendly, getting on your bike is also the ideal way to burn off those tasty fish suppers and delicious cream teas!

The Dordogne, France

If you're looking for the top cycling holidays France is a great option, boasting vast expanses of rolling countryside. Easily accessible by boat or rail, you can take your own bike to France and enjoy the varied landscapes of northern France from the industrial regions of Calais and Boulogne to the port of Caen.

Alternatively, why not fly out to Bergerac and enjoy cycling in the Perigord Region? Commonly known as the Dordogne valley, this region is packed full of pretty medieval towns and villages including Sarlat and Beaumont-du-Perigord. The French countryside is known for its excellent campsites and many of the bijou hotels in the region offer good deals on bed and breakfast, so it's easy to find budget-friendly accommodation in the Dordogne and the nearby Lot region.

The Dalmation Coast, Croatia

Croatia has become an increasingly popular holiday destination in recent years, but it's still a great place to go for a budget break. The Dalmation Coastline has quite a flat terrain, which is ideal for cycling. It's easy to hire a bike when you arrive in Croatia, allowing you to enjoy the great outdoors and explore this beautiful region at your own pace. For those who like a challenge, the Biokovo Mountain is popular with cyclists who like to push themselves on higher ground.

One of the top cycling tours in Croatia follows the coast all the way from Split to the capital city of Dubrovnik. With stops at historic towns such as Hvar Town, you'll get to sample tasty seafood at some of Croatia's finest restaurants as well as stopping to enjoy the beautiful beaches along the way. Boasting some fabulous hotels at surprisingly affordable prices, as well as plenty to see and do, a cycling tour in Croatia is an exciting cultural experience that won't cost the earth.

If you're looking for an active break on a shoestring, a cycling holiday could be just what you need. Treat yourself and plan one today.
