Reformatted from Nicholas Crane’s Cycling in Europe, except for the entries marked with a superscript ¹, which are derived from the authors’ own experience. Some of these are new entries; others are obtained by splitting regions.

Crane’s book dates back to 1988. Some of the regions covered may have changed for the worse due to increased traffic, but eastern Europe compensates by being more welcoming.

The ‘accessibility’ column evidently measures ease of access from the UK, and is any case too dated to be of much use.
