About
Great Langdale, and its sister valley Little Langdale,sit side by side amongst the high dramatic peaks of the central fells. At both ends the two valleys are interlinked by road passes. This tour tackles both passes to form a circular tour. The western pass beside Blea Tarn is the highest and steepest and is best tackled fom south to north to take advantage of the more forgiving gradients on the Llittle Langdale side. This unlocks the whole circuit allowing you to enjoy an ever-changing selection of sights and sounds. New cycle paths are due to open through 2013 so keep a look out for these and use them when available to avoid busy traffic. The outward and return legs between Ambleside and Elterwater follow Cycle Routes 6 and 37 so just follow the blue cycle direction signs and numbered waymarkers.Book Tickets
