Motorcycle Tours

“Lovely welcome, great location, brilliant roads … only surpassed by the bread & butter pudding” (Peter Henshaw, Motorcyle Sport & Leisure journalist)

Martin and Kate have toured extensively around Europe over the years, and whilst Kate has a full licence for a motorcycle, she now prefers to map-read from the pillion seat! Martin is an ex-motorcycle instructor and has regularly updated his riding skills through police training courses. He currently rides a BMW 1150 GS and Kate’s last motorcycle was a BMW F650.

“Really enjoyed our visit, especially our guided bike tour around the Somme battlefields.”

A rural area, the Somme is a wonderful place for motorcycling for those bikers who like empty country lanes, huge vistas of open countryside, taking in the scenery and stopping for occasional coffee and lunch breaks.* There is, of course, the added interest of the battlefields to lend real purpose to the day.

“Great fun. Thanks for the guided x-country tours!”

We can offer short duration tailored motorcycle tours of between one and three days, with or without use of our bed and breakfast accommodation. These can typically comprise a one-day introductory tour for those who have little or no knowledge of the First World War or a more in-depth look at specific areas and battles for those who want to know more. A typical day would begin at Orchard Farm with a short briefing on what the day will consist of, setting the scene in its historical context. Map and route directions will be supplied to guests and any requests to make specific visits [to see a relative’s grave, for example] would be accommodated, if possible.

“Great ride, great company. Thanks”

Prices are upon application and discounts for groups of more than 4 bikes, regardless of whether solo or with pillions, would be offered.

“Thanks for the great weekend and fine ride! Can I come back?”

Contact us to discuss your requirements and availability.
 

“An immensely interesting and enjoyable weekend.  We have been made very welcome, especially good company and excellent biking”

* Lunch breaks can either be taken at Orchard Farm, local cafes or restaurants. Depending on the weather, a picnic lunch can be provided by us.

“Martin’s knowledge is a real tribute to “the fallen”, great tour, great company and Katie certainly knows how to make 4 men in leather very happy!”

 “Excellent place to chill out!  Very welcoming, entertaining company & just the place to be for a biker with a puncture!”

 “An excellent week.  I was made to feel like one of the family.  Food and hospitality were second to none.”

 “Take the tour or you will regret it!”

 “Fantastic. I cannot commend Martin and Katie highly enough.  Vittals A+, roads A+, countryside A+”
