Swale Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a lovely new riverside route, designed to be family friendly running from Reeth to Gunnerside.

There are no tricky sections (although if it's dry the gravel can get a little drifty, so keep your speed down), so it's perfect for just spinning along, enjoying the view.

Jingle Pot Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Huge 1 mile climb to the top of Fremington Edge, averaging a gradient of 12% but hitting almost 45% in places. Be prepared for a sore neck the next day from looking up the entire climb, well worth it for the views from the top on a clear day!

Fremington Edge

A superb descent from the tops on this bridleway. Some loose Rocky sections with evidence of flood damage. Also has some fast grassy sections with natural berms to keep your flow...
