    Cycling in Cumbria

You are here: Home > Things to Do > Outdoor Activities > Cycling

Cycling

Mention the Lake District to any cyclist enthusiast and their faces will light up at the thought of shifting gears through one of the most beautiful parts of the country. From gentle country lanes and flat cycle paths skirting alongside a lake to long-distance trails and iconic mountain ascents that will challenge even the fittest cyclist, the Lake District is perfect cycling territory. There’s plenty for off-roaders and mountain bikers too, with a range of challenging trails at Grizedale and Whinlatter forests as well as plenty of outfits that will test and improve your riding skills. Bring the family and follow one of our family friendly cycling routes, enjoy tours by electric bike or sign up for a Sky Ride. And you don’t even have to bring bikes with you, with plenty of spots that will rent them – including electric bikes.
