Hutton 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

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.

Great little family ride

Doable on a gravel bike. Some hike-a-bike dependent on your skills.

Great little church

Lovely views from Askham fell before the excellent decent towards Pooley Bridge.

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!

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.
