Although short lived, the River Kent is surely one of England's most scenic. It gathers high in the Kentmere fells and flows through Staveley and Kendal, before emptying into Morcambe Bay at the Kent Estuary. This riverside section forms a part of the Dales Way, a celebrated long-distance hike between Ilkley in West Yorkshire and Bowness-on-Windermere.

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.
