Landevejscykling

The roads to and from Blea Tarn are absolutely spectacular. For cyclists, the climb from the North (Oxendale) is the toughest (best) and is one of the best climbs in the Lakes.

Coniston and Hardknott Pass loop from Windermere – Lake District National Park

87,5km

04:59

1.790m

Embark on the Coniston and Hardknott Pass loop from Windermere, a difficult 54.3-mile (87.5 km) racebike route through the Lake District National Park. This challenging ride features a significant 5872 feet (1790 metres) of elevation gain, taking approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes to complete. You will cycle past England's largest natural lake, Windermere, and through diverse Lakeland scenery, including views of the Langdale Pikes and the Eskdale Valley, with the infamous Hardknott Pass presenting gradients up to 33%.

This route demands very good fitness and cycling experience, especially when tackling the extreme gradients of Hardknott and Wrynose Passes. Be prepared for sections that may be unpaved and difficult, potentially requiring you to push your bike. Descending these steep passes also requires careful handling due to their challenging nature and sometimes poor road surfaces. A unique ferry crossing adds an interesting element to your journey.

The Coniston and Hardknott Pass loop is renowned as one of the most challenging cycling climbs in the UK, often considered a rite of passage for experienced cyclists. Both Hardknott and Wrynose Passes hold historical significance as ancient Roman trade routes. Completing this difficult loop offers a profound sense of achievement, making it a bucket-list experience for many road cyclists seeking an iconic physical challenge combined with breathtaking natural beauty.
