Moor Divock and Askham Fell

Type:Cycle Route

Pooley Bridge, Cumbria

About

Just east of Pooley Bridge at the northern end of Ullswater the moorland and low hills of Moor Divock and Askham Fell is criss-crossed by an extensive network of bridleways. For mountain bikes, the bridleways are a good introduction to real off-roading as the surfaces are not overly-technical and although there are a number of climbs they are not excessively strenuous. The setting is superb amongst low rolling fells and with a classic Lakeland back drop of lake and mountain.

On Moor Divock there are a number of important historical sights including ancient cairns, avenues, burial mounds, settlements, standing stones and of course 'High Street' - the Roman road; all of which are well worth investigating. Be careful not to cause any damage and do not stray from the bridleway with your bike.
