Coastal Explorer cycling holiday tours with UK Cycle Holidays

The stunning Suffolk coast has always provided inspiration for writers and composers.  George Orwell wrote a number of books while resident in Southwold and Sir Benjamin Britten based his famous opera ‘Peter Grimes’ on the sounds and wild beauty of Aldeburgh beach. Our Coastal Quest tour passes through some delightful Suffolk countryside before exploring the coastal landscape between Southwold and Aldeburgh.
