Gravel riding is big and becoming bigger each year. We may not have the high-profile gravel races in the UK that are popular in the USA, such as Unbound Gravel, but there\u2019s a wide range of gravel rides available.\u00a0<\/p>

Many are non-competitive gravel grinders. The Grinduro-like format of gravel race with timed segments during an otherwise non-competitive ride is also popular \u2013 even if Grinduro<\/a> itself has moved from Wales to continental Europe this year.\u00a0<\/p>

From accessible taster rides to huge, challenging adventures, the breadth of choice is now massive. Many UK gravel rides are multi-day events, with camping available onsite or bikepacking required.<\/p>

Take a look at our pick of the best UK gravel rides and gravel grinders in 2024 below and see if you\u2019re tempted.<\/p>
