Penrith to Lowther Castle Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Wonderful hard pack and gravel trail from Penrith to Lowther Castle. The route weaves along the river towards the caravan park so does have occasional traffic, but brilliant for kids and families too.

A really cool little cattlegrid to ride over- the width of a walkers gate, but means you don't have to get off and open the gate!
