Highlight • Lake

Just ride it. Mostly road but on the west side, generally quiet. East Side is where the buses and campervans prowl...

Descent Into Grange

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Another descending blast. Technical, fast and rocky, the descent into Grange is an absolute hoot. But do watch out for walkers. As it's among the gentler gradients (its biking technicality can belie this at times) it's very popular amongst ramblers.

View of Derwent Water from Brandlehow

Highlight • Lake

Lovely spot with a convenient bench on Brandlehow for taking in the views over Derwent Water.
