Welcome to our family-friendly bikepacking Collection, one of many tried and tested routes suitable for riding with little ones. This Collection showcases my trip to Kent, offering you the perfect weekend adventure for the whole family.

🚴🏼‍♀️ 7 Collinge's embarked on a two-day bikepacking trip from Margate, exploring the scenic Viking Coastal Trail and connecting with NCN 15 route in the centre.

🏨 In the middle, we stayed in Minster overnight in a hotel just off the route.
While it's possible to finish the route in a day, spending a night on this type of journey with little ones turns it into a fun little adventure. It also meant we took our time enjoying the beaches, cafes and sights.

⚙️ I towed my son in his trailer; the gate access was wide enough, and the trails were smooth, providing a really pleasant ride. Additionally, the majority of the route was traffic-free.

☕️ Take in the 2p machines and enjoy the many cafe stops with a view. End the trip at Dreamland in Margate for some top family fun. Packing essentials include bucket and spade.

☀️ The scenery was beautiful, and the weather was kind. In the height of summer, there may be some route adjustments due to limited access on the seafront, but you can easily hop onto the coastal road. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely do it again!

↗️ I've included the full route in this Collection should you wish to complete the loop in one day or add different stops to suit your preferences.
