View of Blackpool Tower and the Lake District from Grizedale Fell

Highlight • Forest

Great views from the high moorland road across Grizedale Fell. The highpoint is 176m so there is nothing to block the view southwest towards Blackpool or northwest across Morcombe Bay to the southern Lake District.

The Barn, Scorton

Highlight • Cafe

A firm favourite with local cyclists. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Also has bike racks (although most of the locks have keys missing). It can take ages to get served in the more modern bar area, so I would recommend entering through the gift shop to the right and ordering from the smaller café area.
