Descent from Tan Hill Inn

Highlight • Trail

From Tan Hill all the way down to Barras this is a superb descent on single track roads with breathtaking views

Tip by

35.9 km

Just when you thought that the switchbacks at West Stonesdale were the hard bit of the climb to the pub, you hit this.

A gradual drag leads to a bend right. The road kicks up & starts to bite. It's not long, but it keeps getting steeper & steeper. Lurch over this & your path to the pub is all but done.

West Stonesdale Hairpin Bends

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A sequence of steep hairpins arising out of Swaledale towards Tan Hill. Light the blue touch paper & get to the top before your legs explode!

Descending, keep a sharp eye for ascending traffic. Cars can ‘hide’ beneath you. You don’t want to meet them on the steepest, blind section (like I did…😳)

Lamps Moss Summit

Highlight • Summit

great view and even better descent - watch out for the sheep though!

Lamps Moss Climb

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the famous 100 Climbs - this beauty is steep at the bottom, then gradual and then savage for 100m at the end. Great descent off the other side heading on toward Buttertubs and the heart of the Dales

Appleby-in-Westmorland

Highlight • Cafe

Great base for climbing Great Dun Fell with great cafes for recovery after you have done the climb, picturesque little town as well.
