Thanks to Sustrans Volunteer Rangers and Local Authority partners, the route is generally well signed in both directions but this cannot be guaranteed so the official Map and Guide Book can be purchased from Sustrans on-line shop, Tourist Information Centres and Cycle and other shops along the route.

You can also print off this free flyer which shows the route in outline.

Signage

Red and white roses on signs make the route easy to follow in either direction but you may still need to consult a map where a sign is missing or damaged and where a diversion is in place. Diversions: Before and during your ride, please check the news page for on-going route diversions and/or signing issues.

Cycle Friendly Places to Stay

Use the above map and weblinks to book on-line, cycle friendly Guest Houses, Inns and Hotels on the route or, if you prefer to see them in mile order, use our Accommodation List. Campsites, hostels and bunkhouses are also shown. Cycle friendly means that the owners welcome single night cyclists, have secure cycle storage and can either offer meals or there are places to eat nearby. Let us know if you have a recommendation that is not listed.

Our 'Places of Interest' page describes some of the key features on the route. You can also find out more at Visitor Information Centres along the route.

The Visit Lancashire and Welcome to Yorkshire websites cover all of the Lancashire and Yorkshire sections of the route, where you can also check availability and book accommodation on-line.

Car Parking

If you arrive by car and need somewhere to park, your accommodation provider might recommend somewhere or, you could park at the Festival Car Park opposite the Midland Hotel for £3.20 per night (2013 prices). It has CCTV cameras and is well-lit. All Morecambe car parks are open 24/7 and if using Pay and Display, you need to buy a ticket for each day the car is to be left. If you prefer an entirely secure parking arrangement, then the nearest guaranteed security car park is at Parksafe in Lancaster. Other options are available - see http://www.lancaster.gov.uk/parking/ for the list of all Morecambe car parks and charges.
