One of the many things that people seem to forget about living in the UK that you don't have to travel far to find amazing places to ride your motorcycle! The British Isles without doubt have some of the most dramatic and glorious landscape in Europe.  We have designed a trip that will take you to some of the most bewitching parts of these islands, through the Yorkshire Moors, the Northumbrian forest and into the glories of the Scottish Highlands to John O' Groats, continuing round the dazzling west coast. 

We begin the trip with a night at an old coaching inn on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, before making our way north via some of the most stunning roads in the Lowlands, and then on to the Cairngorms with a stop to visit the dramatic battlefield of Culloden where the rebellion of 1745 came to a dramatic end. We end this wonderful adventure after the 9th and final night in Callender, in the beautiful Trossachs National Park. 

​

We have included a well earned day off in John O' Groats where we can take the opportunity to board a ferry to visit the Orkney Isles and to soak up some of the fascinating history of this most ancient of places, with visits to an almost perfectly intact 5000 year old village and the site of the dramatic naval battle at Scapa Flow.

​

Following our day of rest, we continue across the north coast with its stunning beaches and Caribbean coloured water and on down the famously beautiful west coast to Applecross to experience the magnificent Bealach Nà Ba. No trip to Scotland would be complete without riding through Glencoe, famously haunted after the massacre of 1692...it is a truly wonderful place and ranks high amongst my all time favourite roads to ride!

​

This tour of the best roads in Scotland will get the blood pumping and will remind you of all the reasons you love your motorcycle! The route will incorporate parts of the famous NC500, but with our own take on what we consider to be more interesting roads added in. The breathtaking views are sublime and the roads challenging. All in all, a great way to ride some of the finest motorcycling roads in Britain..!

​

We aim to leave in the morning by 9.00am and aim to be at our destination by 6.00pm in the evening.  This equates to around 6 hours in the saddle - we typically ride for an hour and a half before a short break for a leg stretch or a coffee, with a stop for lunch and another break in the afternoon. We are definitely happy to pull over to admire the view and for photo opportunities along the way.
