시스웨이트 탄 최고의 라이딩 경로

It’s a hard ride up if you’re not used to it, but it’s worth it to THUNDER down the other side 👍🤣

Nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

The oak bench was installed on June 4, 2023. The Pattinson family wishes to honor the life of their charismatic, spirited, and much-loved relative, who grew up in Torver Station House in the 1940s and 1950s, attended school in Torver, and developed a love of the Lake District landscape, hiking in the surrounding mountains. Torver Borough Council and the National Trust supported the project in its design and installation at the highest point of the old Foxfield to Coniston branch line. The bench was designed and built by Nigel Pattinson, who worked closely with Chris Bradley of Torver Borough Council and Carole Barr. The bench's design reflects the shape of steam locomotive nameplates, and the branch stations between Foxfield and Coniston are engraved into the edge of the oak bench. The stone is inscribed with the words “Alt Maen” at the top of the central post, the ancient Celtic word for “High Stone” and the medieval name of the village of Torver, Thorvergh.

April 2025 - The road has been mostly resurfaced, to an excellent, billiard table standard, from the Little Langdale junction to the cattle grid at the top, just before you descend to Wall End in Great Langdale. Enjoy it before it falls to pieces again!

Open 9am to 11pm most days (April 2025) Perfect mid-ride stop for a drink.

Hardknott Pass from Beckfoot is one of the UK's toughest road climbs, with an average gradient of 13% and brutal ramps reaching 33%. The narrow, single-track road winds through stunning Lake District scenery, with rough tarmac, gravel patches, and drainage channels adding to the challenge.

Not one I’d heard of until I stumbled across it, pretty steep for a 1/2 mile or f so

Lovely quiet road, pretty good surface
