Whether on-road or traffic-free, the NCN has grown to become an integral part of the UK’s transport network and carrying over one million journeys every day, it has exceeded all expectations. There are now more miles of Network than there are of motorways with over 50,000 signs, 10,000 seats and thousands of bridges, viaducts and tunnels along its fascinating routes.

So whether it’s for business or pleasure, commuting or just for fun, travelling on the network has something for everyone as well as being a fundamental part of how people in the UK get around everyday.
