Embark on the River Lune loop from Sedburgh, a challenging touring cycling route that takes you through the stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This ride covers 43.1 miles (69.4 km) and involves a significant elevation gain of 3192 feet (973 metres), offering dramatic vistas of the Lune Gorge where the river, railway, and motorway converge. You can expect to complete this difficult journey in approximately 4 hours and 44 minutes, cycling past the distinctive "Sleepy Elephants" of the Howgill Fells.
Planning your visit requires good preparation, as this is a demanding bike ride. The route starts in the charming market town of Sedbergh, where you will find parking facilities. Be ready for some tough climbs and a particularly steep descent down Shacklabank Lane; some sections might even require you to dismount and push your bike. Ensure you have very good fitness before attempting this challenging loop.
This route stands out for its blend of natural beauty and historical landmarks. As you cycle, you will pass the impressive, disused Lowgill railway viaduct, a testament to past engineering. Keep an eye out for Cautley Spout, England's highest above-ground waterfall, visible along the A683 section of the trail. The diverse terrain and scenic beauty make this a memorable experience for well-prepared cyclists seeking a rigorous adventure.
