Hi,

Wondering if there are any websites that suggest routes between two points using all legal cycle options I.e. on and off road?

Cheers..

click quiestest route and it'll pick out bridleways too. It's a great tool.

Ah cheers @Jekkl.. I'd seen it but didn't think it would do bridelways. Just what I need.

Cheers too for your advice in my other thread. N+1 has been cancelled (for now). 😀

you're welcome! be careful planning routes using bridleways you've never cycled before, you might get there and find them unpassable, overgrown or whatever. I'm sure you know this already though 🙂

Oh yes. Bulls, barbed wire, bush and bogs is what Ive come to expect when lower down. 😀

That's pretty cool. Can't get it to take bridleways/off-road though.

I just checked it with my local area kayak and it did take the bridleway but I had to force it, sort of by placing the markers at either end of the bridleway. It takes sustrans cycles paths, canals, unused tracks etc straight away but only seems to suggest bridleways if there is absolutely no other option. Perhaps it's deisgned that way given that some bridleways are an unknown surface?
It is a great tool though, espicially if you're planning a tour.
