A lovely family cycling trip can be complemented by an exciting local railway trip. Cycling in Suffolk plays such a big role in the local lifestyle that most of the trains, including the East Suffolk Line, have bike facilities. If you prefer having your route worked out for you, you will find many family-centred tours that see to the transport of your luggage to your cosy accommodation. Tours welcome individuals and couples.

If lashing your bike to your car for the entire duration of your journey seems a bit inconvenient, Suffolk offers various shops that offer cycle hire, helmets, cycling accessories, bike repairs, bike sales, and anything else you could possibly need to ease your experience.

Occasional cyclists and families should plan on doing 8-10mph on road, and 5 mph on non-Tarmac roads.
