The Coast to Coast (C2C) route remains one of the most rewarding challenges for cyclists in the UK, and we are proud to serve as a reliable base for those tackling the journey. Understanding the unique requirements of long-distance riders is essential to providing a stress-free stay, which is why we have invested in facilities specifically designed for the cycling community.
We frequently receive enquiries regarding the safety of equipment, and we are pleased to confirm that The Crown and Crossed Swords provides fully secured, dedicated bike storage for all our guests.
Designed for the C2C Journey
Whether you are navigating the steep climbs of the Pennines or enjoying the descent towards the coast, having a dependable place to rest—and a safe place for your bike—is paramount. Our services for cyclists include:
Verified Security: Rest easy knowing your bicycles are housed in a locked, protected area overnight.
Nutritional Support: With our new breakfast menu launching 1st April, riders can choose from calorie-dense classics like the full English or lighter options like smashed avocado and poached eggs.
Inclusive Dining: We offer a variety of vegan and gluten-free breakfast choices to ensure every member of your group is properly fuelled for the miles ahead.
Convenience: Our location and facilities make us an ideal pitstop for groups and solo riders alike.
Planning Your Route
The C2C is as much about the hospitality along the way as it is about the ride itself. By offering both secure storage and high-quality morning meals, we aim to provide the practical support necessary for a successful expedition.
Due to the popularity of the route during the spring and summer months, we recommend contacting us early to ensure availability for both your accommodation and your equipment.
