Gravel Biking in the Lake District

The Lake District offers some of the most amazing off-road routes in England, with world class scenery as standard.

But just like the Road Cycling, off-roading in the Lake District doesn’t come easy and knowing where to start and what the routes hold in store can be tricky to work out for the visiting cyclist.

We know loads of great routes throughout the district and to suit all abilities and expectations. This makes us well placed to advise on route choice and match this to your requirements and help make your stay here amazing.

What equipment to bring:

  • Bicycle in good working order
  • Helmet
  • Spare tubes
  • Puncture repair kit
  • Multi-tool
  • Lightweight waterproof jacket
  • Snacks/energy gels
  • Plenty of fluids
  • Card/cash for café stops

Season:
From March – November

Mechanicals:
We will gladly offer assistance in the event of a breakdown/puncture, but we are not qualified mechanics.

Location:
We are based in Ambleside and offer routes throughout the Lake District

What we can offer

Due to the hilly nature of the terrain here, having regular fuel stops is important. We will always include planned stops at great cycle friendly cafes. For a morning ride we would aim for one stop and if out on longer rides we’d be aiming for two sit down stops as a minimum. If covering more remote terrain it may be necessary to bring a packed lunch, we can advise on this at time of booking.

For your peace of mind, we only use British Cycling qualified leaders who are local to and familiar with the area.

Great if you already have a route in mind, just let us know. Or if preferred we can plan a route based on the type of riding you want and how far you want to go.
