This wide and rocky byway is steep in places, with a number of gates en route to tackle. It's all worth it though as you wind around the southern slopes of Shipman Knotts with spectacular Lakeland views.

The byway between Till's Hole and Stile End is fairly rocky in places but offers up spectacular views towards Ancrow Brow.

Its time to push your bike! A short sharp hill is worth the effort for the views and descent.
