Bikepack the South Downs Way

The South Downs Way is recognized as one of the UK's most desirable off-road routes. Some even call it Southern off-road utopia*. Probably cos of the wild and unspoiled landscape with breath-taking views across both land and sea which feature in abundance across the South Downs National Park.

And that's why we're back for another go in 2026.

Join Wild Cycles and Albion Cycling for outrageous adventure June 6-7.

Starting at the fab South Downs Social Cafe in England's ancient capital - Winchester - day 1 is 75km and ends at a sublime campsite and bunkhouse tucked away from it all deep into South Downs Way National Park.

Expect a super warm welcome, chilled campsite and fireside vibes + meals from the legendary Wild Cycles field kitchen.

"...the food was first class, the best I've ever had on a cycling event...makes such a difference." S. Harvey

After a wholesome breakfast - on day 2 (90km) you'll catch glimpses of the ocean as the route follows the coastline, past the spectacular 7 Sisters Cliffs, Birling Gap and down into Eastbourne for the finish.

Almost entirely off-road - you'll be blown away by the natural beauty of the extraordinary and undulating coastal landscape.

Grab this fab opportunity to experience the wild South Downs with a community of like-minded adventurers.

No bike? No problem!

Hire one of Wild Cycles' bikes which you can choose at checkout.

We'll have it ready for you at the start in Winchester.
