Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Coniston Water

Highlight • Viewpoint

Coniston is the 5th largest of the Lake District lakes at just over 5miles long.
John Ruskin lived on the banks and declared the view of the Old Man of Coniston from across the lake as the finest in England. Arthur Ransome based Swallows and Amazons here and maybe one of the three islands is Wild Cat Island?

Birker Fell Road

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Arguably the best road in the UK you've never heard of. Go and ride it. Immediately.

Quiet Lanes from Ravenglass

Highlight • Trail

If you ride this at the weekends you'll be unlucky to see any traffic at all. Beautiful empty Lanes.
