Wrynose Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Although it's often overlooked due to Hardknott Pass to the west, Wrynose Pass is spectacular. The views going down the road are more impressive than going up, so set some time aside to enjoy them.

Gravel Path to Little Langdale

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Lovely smooth gravel surface, suitable for beginners or hybrid bikes. Descent on this from High Tilberthwaite really put a smile on my face!

Hawkshead Hill to Coniston Gravel Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Amazing smooth gravel behind tarn hows, from Hawkshead Hill to Coniston. Just watch out for the couple of drainage ditches!

Tip by

Slubberthwaite Common

Highlight • Trail

Climb up the moors on a narrow, very quiet tarmac road then take an old bridleway followed by a great descent. Rough, but perfectly suitable for gravel bikes.
