The Cockpit is a 3,500–5,000-year-old Bronze Age stone circle (27m diameter) located on Moor Divock in the Lake District National Park, overlooking Ullswater. It features roughly 70–75, mainly recumbent, stones set into a circular embankment, likely serving as a prehistoric gathering place. It is accessible via walking trails from Askham or Pooley Bridge.

Ok, so it’s not an easy ride up as it has narrow and rocky sections. However a committed intermediate level rider should at least enjoy the bits they can ride, and the views across the valley and up to Skiddaw House make it a worthwhile climb, even when pushing the bike. We did it in summer, so imagine it’s trickier in winter.

Excellent views and a good spot to camp

On an eMTB this route is 100% rideable up to the flat section between Raise and Whiteside Bank. The only thing that will stop you is a lack of traction on the tight switchbacks.

White Side 863m / 2830ft is situated to the east of Thirlmere and to the west of Glenridding valley

Quite challenging downhill. Requires technical skills and a brave rider. Had to carry the bike around some of the bends.

Going up from Glenridding will be a push for most, I think. Can be quite windy up there, but still good fun.

quick stop, little pub in a few minutes walk.
