Raleigh said: “This coastal route takes cyclists through North Yorkshire to two stunning locations on the east coast of England.

"It’s perfect for a staycation, with many camping sites and boasting the highest concentration of pubs for pit stops along the way.

"There is quite a long hill, but with the aid of an e-bike, everyone can participate and take in the rarified air and breath-taking views.”

The route was judged the UK’s best ahead of Marriott’s Way in Norfolk and The Viking trail in Kent.
