About the National Cycle Network
The NCN (co-ordinated by Sustrans) offers 12,000 miles of signed cycle routes throughout the UK – that means almost 75% of the UK population are within two miles of the Network.
One third of the Network is on traffic-free paths, along riversides, through parks, or following disused railway lines and canal towpaths. The rest is on quiet minor roads and traffic-calmed streets. These well-marked routes bring the countryside to towns and cities, for walkers and cyclists, young and old, and those with prams and wheelchairs.
