About

Our shortest route has no huge hills to tackle, but the lofty northern fells are an ever-present backdrop as you ride westwards along quiet country lanes to the pretty village of Greystoke and back, with plenty of refreshment stops en-route. And if you’ve time, a detour up to Greystoke Moor will open up even grander vistas.

Start/finish: Sandgate Car Park

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