    Tips

    Cycling

    Winding its way through Thornthwaite Forest with views over Lorton Valley and Bassenthwaite Lake, Whinlatter Pass is one of the most beautiful areas of the Lake District. At the top of the pass, you will find Whinlatter Forest Visitor Center which has information about osprey birds, a gift shop and restaurant. Standing at 317 meters (1043 feet) the climb is much more gradual than many other passes in the Lake District.
