About

From Bootle village, nestling between the fells and coastal plain, climb out onto the broad flank of the fells above. The sky, sea and fells meet at far horizons and the views are breathtaking. The return is a rewarding free-wheel down to the narrow roads and estuary below. This route can be ridden in either direction. It's not suitable for road bikes as there is a significant section off road. A section of the road from Waberthwaite is affected by tidal water. Check tide timetables.
