The best way to see the fells.
Explore the Lakes.
The area around Keswick is vast, there is so much to do and so much to see.
We have curated a selection of routes to inspire your next cycling adventure in the Northern Lakes.
You will find routes designed for every type of riding, and suitable for every ability of rider.
Please remember that the durations given for these rides are not including stops to enjoy some coffee and cake. This is something we consider to be a staple of every ride, so please do factor these stops in when planning your adventure.
All of these routes start from our front door in the centre of Keswick. Even if you are not renting one of our bikes, feel free to stop in for a chat, a tune up, or even just some air in your tyres!
We use Komoot to share our exciting routes with people, for free! You can follow the links to download the app yourself (for free!), or download the GPX files to use with your preferred system!
