Waggon Way Coastal Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Waggon Way is part of NCN 72 (Hadrian's Cycle Way). It's a lovely traffic-free path which literally hugs the coast. Good smooth surface and great views throughout.

Whitehaven to Rowrah Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fragment of the bed of the former railway line from Whitehaven (on the west coast, slightly north of Saint-Bees Head, the starting point of the Coast to Coast) to Ennerdale.
It is now a tarmac cycle path, built by the West Cumbria Groundwork Trust, with many references to its railway past along the way.
Also a nice route for the walker.

Whitehaven to Ennerdale Cycleway

Highlight • Trail

The first 5 or so mile has a good purpose built cycleway / path which has not real climbs, like a steady blue graded trail. This allows you to quickly get some distance in and provides for a quite quick trail
