Almost all of the route is based on minor roads and cycle paths, so that the cycling can be enjoyed to the full without worrying about traffic. Four days cycling will cover the journey, but you may want to linger and enjoy the sites and scenery along the route more fully, in which case six days affords a fairly leisurely outing. There are many points of interest on, or near, the trail that merit a detour - not least the beautiful cathedral city of Durham.
