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.

Bike-Sized Cattle Grid

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!

September 26, 2023,Lowther Castle from Penrith – Beginner-friendly gravel rides

We love the trails around Lowther Castle. The Lowther Estate has really put a lot investment into these tracks and they are wonderful for all ages and abilities.

This route starts in Eamont Bridge, easily accessible by train to Penrith and has easy parking, but it could be shortened if you parked at Lowther Castle.
