Descent Towards Brothers Water via Kirkstone Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of the best descents in the Lake District. Passing the Kirstone Pass Inn on your right, head towards Patterdale and enjoy some spectacular views. A little 'technical' at the top so take care.

Coniston Village

Highlight • Trail

Lovely road from Little Langdale in the east up towards either Wrynose and Hardknott pass or the right turn past Blea Tarn and then down into Greater Langdale. Beautiful scenery and a great road but the hills are big!

Blea Tarn

Highlight • Viewpoint

The roads to and from Blea Tarn are absolutely spectacular. For cyclists, the climb from the North (Oxendale) is the toughest (best) and is one of the best climbs in the Lakes.
