Best Road Cycling Rides to Holbeck Lane Ascent to Kirkstone Pass

Tips

  • This is the ascent to the Kirkstone pass used on the Fred Whitton cycle route. It's quieter than the Struggle or the main road using Holbeck Lane to climb up from Windermere to join the main Patterdale Road. Good as an ascent or descent but be careful it's fairly narrow.
