No Holy Island

Northumberland • Start/finish: Alnwick • Distance: 100 miles • Riding time: 2.5 hours • Castles, coastal views and cracking views – this route has the lot. After crossing to Holy Island, it loops back to Alnwick. NB: Check tide times for access to Holy Island - don't risk getting stranded (or riding through the rising salty tide... that's no good for your bike).
