About

Cycle your way steadily westwards, marvelling at the increasingly dramatic views of high Lakeland fells which rise up steeply behind the villages of Mosedale and Mungrisdale. This is ‘connoisseurs Cumbria’: remote, rugged and breathtakingly beautiful. You’ll be on the popular Sea to Sea (C2C) Cycle Route for much of the time.

Start/finish: Sandgate Car Park

Grade: Long·Moderate, all on-road except stony track between edge of town and Newton Rigg campus
