THIS VIEW TAKES OUR BREATH AWAY!

You could be enjoying this view in June on our Guided Cycling holiday at the Yorkshire Coast. We will be exploring and looping back along stunning country lanes like this one.

If you don't have a gravel / hybrid bike you can hire one for 2 days from our friends at Cinder Bike Hire, who will drop one off at our accommodation for you.

Ladies only, so come solo or bring your female buddies 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️

I'd like to introduce you to Samuel...

Samuel is one of our trusted emergency mechanics able to offer expert advice, precision repairs, and quality products to keep you on the road for the duration of your holiday.

We're really careful about who we work with at Seafern Adventures and when a mechanic tells us he will do his best to fix our bike OVERNIGHT, so that you don't miss out on a day cycling we know we have found the right back up support. We hope we don't need to call you Samuel but if we do we know you have our back and that means a lot 🙏🚴

It's Random Acts of Kindness Day today...

February 17th each year provides us all with an opportunity to come together and make the world a better place through thoughtful actions.

It's all about spreading love and positivity. Need some inspiration? These are our top 3 acts of kindness that everyone can afford to do, because they cost very little and take no time at all. They might just touch someone by making them smile and give them a warm feeling inside.

🙏Give Compliments to friends or strangers to brighten their day.
🙏Send a thoughtful text to say how much you appreciate someones support.
🙏Give someone a bunch of daffodils for going above and beyond.

I plan to give a bunch of daffodils to someone who has gone out of their way to squeeze me in for an appointment when I left it a bit late. They didn't have to, but they did and I think that deserves more that just a thank you, dont you?

What will you be doing today?

We would like to share our trip notes for day 2 of our Cycling Holiday in the Yorkshire Dales

DAY 2 - After breakfast this morning, we’ll head Burnsall, a beauty spot that sits on the River Wharfe, famed for its historic architecture, including the 12th-century pub and a church with Viking carvings.

We cycle through Appletreewick and pass Simons Seat, a popular hiking destination with a summit at 485 meters. We will stop for a photo opportunity at Bolton Abbey . Bolton Priory, is a large C12th Augustinian monastery and was famously painted by the romantic artist Turner in its stunning riverside setting.

Our return journey takes us through Embsay where we will stop for lunch at Clean Eats Kitchen, before dropping onto the Leeds Liverpool canal towpath near Skipton to return to our accommodation for some optional restorative pre-dinner Yoga.

If this sounds good there are another two equally exciting days to enjoy on this adventure. Please get in touch if you would like us to send a copy of our full notes for this breathtaking trip. 🚴‍♀️😀

ARE YOU CONSIDERING BOOKING BUT NOT SURE?

Maybe this post will help you make a decision...

Preparing to host a large group of ladies on a cycling adventure is not an easy undertaking. There are times during the planning, risk assessing, meal preparing and sleepless nights that I ask myself what am I doing?
Then the weekend comes around and we get to meet the most inspirational, enthusiastic, supportive and strong women and I remember this is why we do it!

Another cafe that is sooooo good we just have to shout about it is Riverbank Burnsall on the river Wharfe. It's not far from Bolton Abbey and is a regular stopping off place for local .

I can personally recomend the delicious corgette and pistachio cake and it's worth mentioning that everything is home baked. We will be stopping off here again on our next Cycling Holiday in the Yorkshire Dales.

Will you be joining us?

This is why we want to take you on gravel / hybrid bikes on the cycling weekend at the Yorkshire Coast. The coastal path is too good to miss, so we've created 2 circular routes for 2 days of glorious cycling along the beautiful Yorkshire Coast. If you don't have a suitable bike you can hire one from Cinder Bike Hire.

We have cycled along here for over 20 years and never get tired of the views.

Come join us this route is epic!🤩

We'd like to introduce you to one of our new ride leaders, Karen Shackleton 👋

Karen is helping us lead in August and September on the Cycling Holiday in the Yorkshire Dales.
Karen is a cyclist, skier, triathlete, swimmer, runner and hiker. In fact, there aren't many sports she's not had a go at at some point in her life. She enjoys planning Breeze rides for a group of ladies in Leeds and is super supportive and encouraging, giving nervous road users confidence on their bikes. She has completed the Leeds marathon and has cycled the Pyrenees coast to coast. She has taken on some serious hills in Derbyshire and in the Dolomites. Karen has stamina in spades and sometimes we lovingly call her the machine!!!

Why not join us in the Yorkshire Dales there are a few places left in August and just 1 place left in September on this fully hosted, guided holiday for women. We promise there will be no monster climbs, just lovely leisurely rides along beautiful country lanes with plenty of photo opportunities and cafe stops.🚴😉🍰

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON DAY 1 AT THE LAKES...

We start our 3 day cycling adventure with a cracking first day cycling alongside the shores of Coniston Water and Lake Windermere for the best part of the day! We will have incredible views over Coniston, the inspiration for Swallows and Amazons. We will pass Brantwood, the former home of John Ruskin, the Victorian art critic. The historic house is now an arts centre and RHS - Royal Horticultural Society garden with an impressive wisteria collection and home of radical experiments in land management and horticulture which Ruskin began.

There will be a Coniston Jetty photo opportunity and coffee stop at the Penny Bridge Bakehouse Born and Bread, before we head east crossing the Haverthwaite Steam Railway.

Our return journey takes us north along Windermere’s western shore where we stop at Joey's Café in Claife. Then our longest climb of around a mile takes us into Hawskshead, before we descend back into Coniston to enjoy a bit of down time. There will be time for some restorative yoga and a soak in the hot tub before our second evening meal together.

Our holidays are genuinely holidays, so it's never just head down and peddal - where would be the fun in that?

Please like this post and send us a message if you would like us to email you the full 3 day trip notes.

It's going to be a fabulous adventure on the Guided Cycling Midweek in the majestic LAKE DISTRICT 🤩

GOOD MORNING LADIES!

For anyone who has recently descovered us, I would like to welcome you to our page. Seafern Adventures provide guided cycling weekend and midweek retreats for women. Our focus is on home cooked food, luxury accommodation and exploring beautiful places in the UK. We aim to offer a nurturing and rejuvenating experience, allowing women to take a break from their daily responsibilities and busy lives.

Our holidays are hosted by women for women and are designed to provide a range of benefits, including relaxation, adventure, and restorative yoga. With a variety of locations to choose from in 2026, including the Yorkshire Dales, The Yorkshire Coast and Cumbria, Seafern Adventures promises to offer a memorable and uplifting experience.

Come in a group or come solo. Half of all guests come on our 3 night weekends solo. In fact, one of the most rewarding aspects of the retreats is seeing a group of women who have never met making friends and sharing their stories.

Friends we love and cherish don't always have the same sense of adventure, so sometimes you just have to take the plunge as a solo traveller, otherwise YOU MISS OUT ON FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS.

If you are still feeling unsure about booking a weekend adventure solo read the following out loud:
😀Everyone will be friendly
😀Everyone will have a tale to tell
😀Everyone has been through something
😀Everyone is keen to support each other

By all means, tag a friend who you think might be a kindred spirit into this post and if they're not free come join us for an advenure anyway. Reserve your place for 2026 now with low deposits from £100

LOOK AT THIS LOVELY LOT!

Don't believe for a minute that they're lost, they're just having a laugh. A good sense of humour is a prerequisite for joining us on holiday at Seafern Adventures.

We had the very capable sarah of Sarah's Yorkshire Bike Rides leading and as a result, there we're no disagreements about which direction to go in on this Guided Cycling holiday at the Yorkshire Coast.

If you like the idea of your next group holiday being guided get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate you.😀🚴‍♀️
