Quernmore Road Between Quernmore and Caton

Highlight • Cycleway

Fun roll North toward Caton on a great surface - local tip - it's "kor-ma", not "qwern-more". ;)

Tip by

View of Blackpool Tower and the Lake District from Grizedale Fell

Highlight • Forest

Great views from the high moorland road across Grizedale Fell. The highpoint is 176m so there is nothing to block the view southwest towards Blackpool or northwest across Morcombe Bay to the southern Lake District.

70.3 km

Waddington Village

Highlight • Pub

With a babbling brook, manicured gardens and chocolate box cottages, Waddington is a lovely village in Lancashire. Its historic buildings house fascinating tales: Henry VI went into hiding in Waddington …

Bowland Knotts Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

1.4 mile climb with an average of 7%. Some steep sections maxing out at around 17%. Nice climb. Descend with care down Keasden road as there are quite a few sheep wandering.
