Cycling

The Cumbrian Cycle Way offers between 72 and 80 miles of superb cycling from Ulverston, through the breathtaking scenery of the Lake District, then on to Carlisle in the north.

Inspired by the pioneering Sea to Sea Cycle Route (C2C), the Walney to Wear/Whitby (W2W) route stretches between Walney Island and both Wearmouth, in Sunderland, and Whitby, on the North Sea coast.

Grizedale Forest, between lakes Windermere and Coniston, provides 6,000 acres of woodland for you to explore by bike. It’s a great day out for cyclists of all levels with its fantastic variety of waymarked trails, forest roads and tracks.
