The National Byway
The National Byway is a 3,200-miles signposted cycling route round much of Great Britain, from Ayr in the north to the Dorset coast in the south.[1] It runs along quiet roads, rather than a mixture of roads and tracks like the National Cycle Network, making it more appropriate for road bikes.
The route is managed by a registered charity called The National Byway Trust.[2]
Cycling Britain describes the route as offering "over 4,000 miles of safe and easy-to-follow signposted cycle routes around the UK."[3]
Maps are available from the National Byway web site and Sustrans.[4][5]
Funding
The National Byway has been creatd largely as a government project with taxpayers' money, receiving over one million pounds of funding for various projects from the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme.[6]
