| | Cycling in Britain |
 | | That's why Britain's 6,000-mile National Cycling Network (NCN) is being laid along city streets and on minor country roads, woodland paths, abandoned rail lines, canal tow paths, and the like. |
 | | While many paths are not yet in compliance with NCN standards, some of the long-distance routes are already open. |
 | | The Coast to Coast Cycle Route, or the "C2C," runs 140 miles from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, through the Lake District and the Pennines to Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
