This trip takes you between the two most iconic capital cities in the world as you cycle between the two famous points: Greenwich Observatory in London, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Dover to Calais cycle route is known as the classic route.
The classic route crosses the Channel between Dover and Calais, and makes use of quiet country roads, rural tracks, and dedicated cycle paths.
