A beautiful hard-packed gravel loop around Thirlmere Reservoir, this route offers an ideal blend of scenic views and accessible terrain.



Originally created to supply water to Manchester, Thirlmere has a fascinating history as an engineered lake, transformed from two smaller natural lakes in the late 19th

A fab ride discovering some new trails and lanes around Kendal using the new Komoot gravel discovery feature 🥳

Only routing mishap was cows in the field, but can hardly blame Komoot for that 😜

This is quite possibly the most stunning gravel ride there is in the Lakes - and the quietest too!



The ride takes you though the Wild Ennerdale Valley. Starting at the road end car park, you pootle along Ennerdale shoreline before heading through some incredible woodland. You’re very likely to bump into

We love the trails around Lowther Castle. The Lowther Estate has really put a lot investment into these tracks and they are wonderful for all ages and abilities.



This route starts in Eamont Bridge, easily accessible by train to Penrith and has easy parking, but it could be shortened if you parked at Lowther

This little forestry plantation packs a lot of wonderful riding into a small area. This ride starts with a long gravel climb, only made better by the knowledge that you’ll get to descend this later!



We love this ride at blackberry season as the forest road climb is lined with blackberry bushes, which

This is quite possibly our most ridden beginner route, as it takes in so much off-road national cycling trails which are perfect for beginner gravel rides!



You can start the route in Ambleside, or get the Windermere Car Ferry and join the route at Far Sawrey-. We LOVE a ferry trip, but check on Twitter

Starting in Staveley, with good train links or a nice ride from Kendal, its worth stocking up with cake and caffeine at Mr Duffins as there isn't a cafe on this route.



You pootle out towards Longsleddale with the odd muddy bridleway thrown in.



Longsleddale was the inspiration for Postman Pat, so keep an
