Station Climb, Armathwaite

Highlight • Climb

One the many climbs out of Armathwaite Village. In my opinion it’s the best as the climb gives an extra little punch at the top with some false flat.

View of the Northern Fells, Lake District National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

An absolute dream stretch of road that's above the treeline with expansive views. The road surface suffers during the winter months so not always advisable unless you're on a more robust bike. Gorgeous during spring and autumn with wild flowers.

Caldbeck Common Road at the Base of Carrock Fell

Highlight • Trail

A lovely quiet road along the base of Carrock Fell and across Caldbeck Common. Watch out for the odd pothole and the soft verges as well as the wild fell ponies. The crossing from Mosedale to Hesket Newmarket is fanatstic.

This is a seemingly endless drag up from the valley to get you back in Penrith. Lovely but hard work

Eden Valley Lanes North-East of Penrith
