Today we are exploring London on foot and admiring the many "classics": British Museum, Covent Garden, view of the London Eye, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Chinatown.... all wonderful, but now we are exhausted!

A very exciting cycle path, which always offers new views, skylines, sculptures, chic and poor residential areas etc. A very beautiful way to approach the core of London.
The Tate Modern - one of the world-famous museums - offers exhibitions with internationally renowned artists, currently there is the

This time we are pleasantly surprised: excellent, well-signposted cycle paths lead us to the Thames Cycle Route. Here, in beautiful weather, there are exciting views of the Thames, the ships, the locks, the cable car over the 🚠 Thames. This afternoon, we only manage to get from the campsite to Greenwich

Today the sun is shining - you could hardly expect better weather for this beautiful city. The cathedral was built in 1220 and completed after only 45 years! The 120 m high tower is visible from afar and the "Cathedral Close" - a large grassy area around the house of worship - sets the cathedral off

We arrive in Tintagel by bike late in the afternoon; the 600-year-old historic post office has already closed and otherwise there is nothing left of all the hustle and bustle around the birthplace of King Arthur. Only a few ruins remain of the castle from that time, which can be visited with an expensive

Today it is gloomy and windy, so a visit to the beautiful manor house with garden is recommended. Both are always an inspiring and entertaining delight.

This time, a good cycle path leads us to our destination: St Michael's Mount - easily confused with Mont Saint Michel from a distance. In fact, after the conquest in 1066, the Norman William the Conqueror left the island to the Benedictine monks from Normandy. A monastery was built and later, under Henry

A cycle path to St Ives would have been nice - partly it was already a bit strenuous on the roads...
and despite the off-season, there are incredibly many people, buses, and cars around.
But: the town has charm; the location alone in a kind of "half-bowl" with the many sandy beaches, the narrow alleys

A beautiful hike on white sandy beaches, up onto the high cliffs, with a view of a bay with seals - and always with the picturesque Govrey Lighthouse on the small island in sight. The weather today is also very varied: wind, showers, sun... this is how I imagine typical Cornwall!

Today nothing is going according to plan: the planned gardens are closed, no ferry is running in Saint Anthony Head, and access in Saint Mauves to the ferry to Falmouth is via a steep, narrow staircase. That's too risky for us with our e-bikes. So we content ourselves with the nice little town of Saint

Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream, Cornwall has a particularly mild climate: here dahlias can grow next to banana plants. Also outstanding is the huge old tree population, a beautiful manor house and wonderful views of the beautiful landscape. A delight!
This time there are even good cycle paths everywhere

The sauropods were the largest land animals that ever existed: approx. 25m long and 40-50 tons, they left their giant footprints here in the so-called Purbeck Limestone on the Jurassic Coast 140 million years ago; well over 100 such footprints (up to 60 cm in diameter) are freely accessible here on the

On the approx. 2.5 km hiking trail to "Old Harry", we are not alone - but it is also a very impressive white rock formation!
A little further on there are long sandy beaches and behind them a large nature reserve with swamps, lakes and heathland.
The way back is via the National Cycle Way 2, which leads

Who still remembers them, the Famous Five by Enid Blyton??? She spent her holidays here in the county of Dorset and later settled here - she found her inspiration for the book series in this wonderful magical area and in the castle ruins of Corfe Castle.

Today is our last day in London. We want to use the bikes again and take the Woolrich ferry to the north bank of the Thames, along the promenade of the Docklands, always with a view of the Canarywharf skyline.
Apart from the larger roundabouts – they are a bit complicated – it's quite good by bike.
