Brittania - The British Isles

For so many Antipodeans and North Americans the British Isles carry a sense of ancestral connection - Every castle, battlefield and village pub feels half-familiar - the setting of stories absorbed since childhood, now finally ridden through rather than read about. It's history made physical, ancestry connected. Five fiercely independent nations sharing one small archipelago — Stonehenge to Glencoe, London to Edinburgh, all packed into one extraordinary ride.

Ride from the cathedral cities and ancient stone circles of southern England, through the Cotswolds, into remote Wales and the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). Continue the Odyssey across the Irish Sea to Ireland’s west through Connemara and the Wild Atlantic Way along rugged coastlines dotted with castle ruins. Then, across by ferry to spectacular Scotland, roll through dramatic glens, across tiny islands and around beautiful lochs, and of course, the ever amazing and atmospheric Highlands. This journey between two of Europe's greatest capitals is an epic adventure, capturing the history and diverse landscapes of the British Isles.
