Bridleway to Kentmere

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A gentle, but very pleasant climb and a similar descent whichever way you tackle it.

On a good day, the views are, as you'd expect, spectacular, and it's surprisingly quiet despite its proximity to the Ambleside and Windermere walking honeypots.

Lunsty Howe doubletrack, Kentmere Hall

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A thrilling descent or testing climb, with stony doubletrack and Hall Wood to the side of the dry stone wall.

The views from here are just breathtaking, but you should probably be concentrating on where you're going!

Shipman Knotts Byway

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This wide and rocky byway is steep in places, with a number of gates en route to tackle. It's all worth it though as you wind around the southern slopes of Shipman Knotts with spectacular Lakeland views.

Sadgill Bridleway

Highlight • Trail

Gets rougher- not too bad for mountain bikes but rough for my skills on skinnier tyres though I’m sure it’s doable.

Gatescarth Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Not the most technical, no, this is a packhorse doubletrack all the way, with everything that entails, but it's still a stiff climb in both length and height. Your legs …

Nan Bield Pass Summit

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Stunning views north over Haweswater and south into Kentmere and the start of one of the best descents in the lakes. Save your lunch for here, there is a small shelter to sit and fuel up in.
