Travelling by bike
King’s Lynn is easy to get around by bike and West Norfolk is ideal cycling country, with cycle routes criss-crossing the whole area – often following traffic-free paths. King’s Lynn is part of National Cycle Network 1 (from Dover – Shetland) which provides access to Fakenham and Wisbech (and all the villages in between!) and National Cycle Network 11 which provides access to Ely, Waterbeach, Milton and Cambridge.
Cambridge is famously bike-friendly. There are plenty of facilities for cyclists, including cycle parks, a hire shop at the railway station and countless cycle routes. The Cambridge Cycling Campaign has a comprehensive map of the city and a route planner.
Both of our campuses have secure bicycle shelters on-site.
