Gamblesmire Lane

Highlight • Trail

I rode it in March, no nettles, but plenty of mud, so be warned. Great ride though.

Ford Crossing in Lake District National Park

Highlight • Trail

Well you could also cross the stream using the bridge if you don’t enjoy fun 💦

Tip by

The Sun Inn

Highlight • Pub

The Sun Inn seems to be a pub which has taken maybe three of four terraced type houses up. Parking to the right side, the lights were on mid day Monday

Foggy Path in Lake District National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

It was late on the day, dusk at around 5pm. The rain was coming down heavier. This location will be exposed to bad winds on some days. Full of puddles but traction was ok

Meadowplatts Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The bridleway that climbs from Ullthwaite Bridge to the sheepfold junction below Capple Howe is a tough ascent or fun descent. You gain about 427 feet (130m) in 2km. Views are great though!

Bridleway in Lake District National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Possible on a gravel bike but definitely better suited for mountain biking

Tip by

Burneside Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Burnieside has a convenience store which is a welcome sight for a drink. The chapel seems to be very well built and quite striking
