    Route data is being prepared.

    The first build of the UK route database takes about an hour to run. Check back soon — the map, search and install features already work.

    Both terrain types are switched off, so no routes are shown.

    Completely Off-Road

    Routes where every part you ride is away from motor traffic: cycle paths, bridleways, byways, disused railways, canal towpaths, forest tracks and trail-centre trails. Shown as a solid teal line.

    Public footpaths in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (no right to cycle) are never counted as off-road, unless cycling is explicitly allowed on them. In Scotland, paths are counted because of Scottish access rights, unless they are marked no-cycling. Pavements beside roads and road crossings are never off-road anywhere. Public bridleways and byways still count when a landowner has tagged them private.

    If a route has to use a footpath or a "cyclists dismount" section, that part is shown as a push section where you walk your bike. A route with any push section is not Completely Off-Road; it appears under Mixed Terrain.

    Ferry crossings do not count for or against a route; look for the ferry badge in the route details.

    Painted cycle lanes on a road are not off-road, and a route that touches even a short stretch of road counts as Mixed Terrain.

    Mixed Terrain

    Routes that use some road — quiet lanes, residential streets, painted cycle lanes or anything open to motor traffic — as well as off-road sections. Road sections are drawn as a dashed amber line on the map, so you can see exactly where they are, and the route details show the off-road percentage.

    Routes with a short push section (a footpath or a "cyclists dismount" stretch where you walk your bike) are also Mixed Terrain. The push distance counts in the route's length but not as off-road.

    Anything OpenStreetMap does not describe clearly is treated as road, so a route is never wrongly shown as completely off-road.

      Which route?

        Save for offline?

        This stores the route and the background map around it on this device so you can use it without signal. On iPhone, Safari may clear stored data for websites you have not used for a while; adding the app to your home screen makes this much less likely.

        Saved routes

        No routes saved yet. Open a route and choose “Save for offline”.

          Show your location?

          Your browser will ask for permission to use your location once, while the app is open. It is only used to centre the map on you. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere, and the app never tracks you in the background.

          Add to your iPhone or iPad home screen

          1. Open this page in Safari (other browsers can’t install web apps on iPhone or iPad).
          2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow) — at the bottom of the screen on iPhone, next to the address bar on iPad.
          3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.

          The app then opens full-screen like a normal app, and routes you save are kept more reliably.

          Install this app

          On Android, open the browser menu (⋮) and choose Install app or Add to Home screen. On a computer, look for the install icon in the address bar.

          About

          A free map of cycling routes across the UK, built from OpenStreetMap route relations. Off-road means away from motor traffic; everything unclear is treated as road so nothing is over-promised. Check conditions and access on the ground.
