Keswick Railway Path Tunnel

Highlight • Bridge

Great simple ride (we did Threlkeld to Keswick and return). Easy enough for the youngest, fast enough for the eldest.

River Greta

Highlight • River

Nice river, pleasant place for a stroll

Highlight • River

Nice views of the River Greta as it meanders towards Keswick.

Brundholme Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

Recently replaced bridge on the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail. The old bridge was damaged beyond repair by Storm Desmond in 2015. Its replacement is actually 20m longer than the original.

Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Very smooth surface but has a tendency to get busy with walkers and other cyclists. Watch it in wet and icy conditions, the surface is almost too smooth. Use your bell to warn other trail users and take it easy!

Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path Cutting

Highlight • Trail

This section of the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path is particularly impressive, as the route runs through a cutting with steep sides cut into the mudstone and siltstones of the Kirk Stile Formation.

Steep road climb out of threlkeld - opens up into some stunning views

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!
