Latrigg Summit Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

Great way to finish off a descent of Skiddaw. Fairly easy going, but keep an eye out for a decent amount of foot traffic along here.

Lonscale Crags Trail

Highlight • Trail

This famous rocky outcrop lies on a very nice route around Skiddaw or Blencathra, part of the Cumbrian Way. They're very hard to ride on a MTB, probably rated S2 - S3. Good luck!

Rocky Descent in Lake District National Park

Highlight • Climb

Lovely techy decent coming off from the top, tight switchbacks all on the scree and boulders.

Just watch out for other users on the path — best saved for quieter times.

Awesome!

Whitewater Dash Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Great climb on a mostly good surface. Apart from one section that hits 20%, gradients are manageable. Awesome views all the way up and then more at the top before dropping down to Skiddaw House.

Whitewater Rapids on the River Caldew

Highlight • Waterfall

Almost at the end of the paved road of the Caldew River Valley there is a small parking space which is located right at the side of the river.

Waterfalls …

Tip by

37.2 km

A long singletrack trail along the hillside below the peaks of Coomb Height, Great Calva, Bowscale Fell and Mungrisdale Common. Best ridden in the drier months, it can get pretty boggy and wet here in winter.
