Lake District Advice

[Jimmi]

Hi guys, I only use my Hardtail Levo in the local woods or at bike centres however I’m planning on taking a trip to the Lake District. Can anyone recommend any particular routes to ride? Ideally with a campsite nearby and not too technical! All advice greatly appreciated. Cheers

Try Hawkshead. Some great semi tech rides around grizedale forest and Claife heights

Have a look at the Keswick tourism site keswick.org, there's some good routes on there and Whinlatter Forest is nearby.

Waterside House Campsite is on the shores of Ullswater and access to the fells is close by. You can also ride the eastern shore to Patterdale along an old coffin road. Above the lake is High Street, a Roman road starting in Ambleside and ending in Penrith (a great day ride if you can get a lift to the start). Lots of bridleways on the fells around there generally. No forest trails though but great views if you like that sort of thing. We are Looking forward to going up to Ullswater for a week with our Levo’s next Saturday?

I’ve had a better look and found a few possibles, I’m trying to find a back to basics campsite. A toilet, tap and peace and quiet is all I want

We're taking our caravan to Pooley Bridge on Ullswater in Sept for long week, these will be handy routes to play with, thank you
