About

Wind you way between rocky knolls and small woods though the Lyth valley, famous for its damson orchards. The ride starts by the gates of Sizergh Castle and takes in enclosed wooded landscapes, flat open farmland with big skies and straight roads and pretty orchards set amongst rocky outcrops. A steep detour provides a spectacular view over south Cumbria and the Lakeland fells and the perfect place for a picnic; the view makes the climb worthwhile! Attractive at any time of year, wild daffodils and damson blossom in spring make this an especially beautiful ride.
