Cycle Breaks are long-established specialists in self-guided cycling holidays and bike tour short breaks with luggage transfer around Norfolk/Suffolk.
Now, from our base in Needham Market in Suffolk, you can just rent the bikes if that is what you would prefer.
At Cycle Breaks our gentle cycling adventures combine relaxed exercise and the most inspiring scenery with stays at quality accommodation and real insight into the local area.
Our portfolio of cycling tours in Norfolk offers everywhere from the North Norfolk Coast to Norwich and from the Brecks to the Broads. It features much-loved Norfolk cycling holidays from 3 to 7 nights, graded ‘easy’ to ‘moderate’ with electric bikes also available if required –
“Route great. Hotels great. We will certainly be thinking about another trip to Norfolk with you in the future.’ Mr & Mrs S.,Northwood (Cycle Breaks ‘Royal Norfolk – Nelson’s County’ tour) / “The organization and the overnight stays were excellent” – Mr & Mrs P., Barnsley (Cycle Breaks ‘Brecks & Beaches’ tour)
As you gear up for a holiday of discovery at your own pace, we will take care of everything. We arrange accommodation bookings and luggage transfers, provide great bikes and detailed itineraries as well as offering an en-route support service.
We pride ourselves on our expert knowledge and our real personal attention which comes from over 20 years’ experience in organising cycling tours. Our cycling holidays are just right for couples, individuals and families, but we are always on hand to advise and tailor tours to your specific needs.
Cycle Breaks is an independent tour operator which also provides cycling holidays elsewhere in England including Suffolk / East Anglia and an extensive range of cycle tours in mainland Europe.
Now, from our base in Needham Market in Suffolk, you can just rent the bikes if that is what you would prefer. Our fleet is made up of good quality, well maintained, adult hybrid bicycles from Dawes and Claud Butler (youth and child bikes from Squish are also available). All bikes are mechanically checked and adjusted before each and every hire. (This is why the price difference between 1 and 2 day hire periods is not significant.)
We also have a small number of Pedal Assist Electric bikes (from Sparta and Whisper) available for hire. Please note that these can only be reserved a maximum 7 days in advance for July and August hires as we hold these primarily for customers taking our fully packaged Cycle Breaks cycling holidays.
