On wheels...

The Lake District was made for cycling, with challenging off road mountain biking routes to gentle country lanes there is something for everybody 

Dramatic mountain biking over Lake District peaks and rolling valley trails can entice families and committed bikers alike.

 

Winding backroad cycling with stunning views and little traffic are ideal for a gentle spin or a 100 mile epic; safe and enjoyable family rides for all ages and abilities are mapped out or waymarked right across the county.
