If you're a cycle commuter, a leisure walker or a long-distance bike tourer - join the million-plus people that love using Sustrans' well-signed National Cycle Network every single day. Spanning the UK, the Network's 12,600 miles of walking and cycling routes include:
scenic traffic-free paths
quiet roads and lanes
signed on-road routes
themed long-distance routes
Sustrans was founded in Bristol in 1977, to help people travel in ways that benefit their health and the environment. The first route was the Bristol and Bath Railway Path, a 17-mile traffic-free trail along a disused railway. The Network was officially created in 1995 with a grant from the newly-created National Lottery. Its length and popularity have grown enormously. It now carries over a million walking and cycling journeys daily and passes within a mile of 57% of the population.
