레이크 디스트릭트 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Stunning area to cycle in, can get very busy in high season though

There is a cafe about 1m down the track. This would add two miles to any walk!

Great view, perfect for photos!

Maximum points if you can cycle right the way across 🤙

amazing view over Coniston water and the old man of Coniston and surrounding fells

Fantastic view point over Coniston!

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!

Not always running when you need it but when it is, the staff are friendly and always interested in your plans for the day.

Runs about every 20 minutes, quite cheap

An update to 51m's post - cyclists now pay £2.15 to cross. Those seeking a long ferry trip are advised to take one of the length-wise cruises; this width-wise ferry is basically a utilitarian (though still picturesque) crossing - takes a little under 5 minutes to complete once started.

An image above shows the lighting system switched on, however for one reason or another, it was off as I passed through on an overcast day. Another rider oncoming without lights (like me) was barely visible in the middle of the tunnel. Mercifully, we'd already spotted one another entering. If you have an urge to read your phone/navigation device on a similarly gloomy day while the tunnel lighting system is switched off, my advice would be to do so before you enter the tunnel. You're going to need 100% attention if there's traffic ahead!

Great vege cafe Joey's

Fantastic multi-user track along old railway. A taste of what its like on one of those long European bike paths that we don't have.

This is the Bowness Nab ferry terminal on the east side of Windermere. The ferry takes bikes and the crossing is around 10 minutes. For fares and times see: https://www.westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/windermere-ferry

Try it , give it a whirl

Windermere ferry is closed for maintenance

Tough climb from the Langdale valley.

great views. we got lost at some point on the way to the car park.

Grizdale has so much easy riding - good for kids/families or gravel bikes. Also easily links up some sections of great single track

The photo is the entrance to Wray Castle, I did not go in for a look, just rode past the entrance. It does not look a big site, but it does look tidy
