This is a lovely new riverside route, designed to be family friendly running from Reeth to Gunnerside.

There are no tricky sections (although if it's dry the gravel can get a little drifty, so keep your speed down), so it's perfect for just spinning along, enjoying the view.

Good easy track, with an often gravel surface and short sections on very quiet roads. The gravel is deep in places especially the approach to Gunnerside, where younger children may require some snack-bribery to keep going!
From Gunnerside the trail continues on quiet roads up a fairly sharp incline, or there’s a return option on the road.
