Handsome Brewery

Highlight • Pub

Limited opening hours for this great craft brewery but always worth it if you time it right. The Tap bar opens at 5pm on a Friday and 3pm on a Saturday and Sunday. Beer can be bought anytime after 11am if someone is at the brewery.

Really welcoming place for cyclists and the brewery is building a huge car park for 2019 so you can park here, do a great ride and end with one of the most handsome beers you’ll enjoy anywhere.

Bridleway Near Garnet Bridge

Highlight • Trail

Nice cut through just before Garnet Bridge. Brings you on to the bridal way without cutting through houses. Looks like it gets a bit muddy when wet though.

River Sprint

Highlight • River

The River Sprint rises high on Harter Fell and flows into the River Kent just south of Burneside. The first two miles of the river feature a series of spectacular water falls, before it enters Longsleddale valley, where it is joined by many streams, or becks as they're known locally.
