Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Very smooth surface but has a tendency to get busy with walkers and other cyclists. Watch it in wet and icy conditions, the surface is almost too smooth. Use your bell to warn other trail users and take it easy!

This section of the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path is particularly impressive, as the route runs through a cutting with steep sides cut into the mudstone and siltstones of the Kirk Stile Formation.
