The Honeypot Children’s Charity House to House Cycle Challenge returns for its third year, taking riders on a 260-mile journey from Powys in Wales to Honeypot House in the New Forest.
This year’s ride, which takes place from July 16 to 19 as part of the charity’s 30th anniversary celebrations, begins at Honeypot Pen y Bryn in Powys and will end at Honeypot House in the New Forest.

Riders will travel through some of the UK’s most picturesque countryside, covering the distance over four days.
John Pocock, chair of The Honeypot Children’s Charity Patrons’ Club and event founder, said: “The House to House Cycle Challenge has become a fantastic way for people to come together, take on an inspiring personal challenge and raise vital funds for Honeypot.
“This year’s route from Wales to Hampshire promises incredible scenery, some tough climbs and a huge sense of achievement as riders arrive at Honeypot House in the New Forest.
“Taking place during Honeypot’s 30th anniversary year makes this year’s challenge even more special.
“Every mile cycled helps support young carers and children who need a safe place to relax, play, build confidence and simply enjoy being children.
“Every pound raised will have a positive effect for the rest of their lives.”

Organised in partnership with Pie Events, the challenge includes full logistical, mechanical and medical support, as well as accommodation, meals and guided support throughout the ride.
The route covers Shrewsbury to Kington via Honeypot Pen y Bryn, onward to Tockington, crossing the Severn Bridge, then to Salisbury, and finally finishing at Honeypot House.
For those unable to commit to the full journey, a one-day option is available covering the final 40 miles from Salisbury to Honeypot House in the New Forest.
Funds raised will support the charity’s work delivering respite breaks, health and wellbeing breaks, and ongoing support for children aged five to 12 who are young carers or facing serious challenges in their lives.
Simmi Woodwal, CEO of The Honeypot Children’s Charity, said: “We are incredibly grateful to everyone taking part in this year’s House to House Cycle Challenge.
“As we celebrate 30 years of Honeypot, it feels especially meaningful to see supporters coming together in this way to help create happy memories and brighter futures for more children.”
Registration for both the four-day and one-day options is now open.
