Off-Road Trails & Quiet Lanes Cycling in the Lake District & Yorkshire Dales is a guidebook for the leisure cyclist, the family rider and the enthusiastic mountain biker. It is for the cyclist who values fun, views and lunch stops over grimaces, effort and aching legs and is ideal for those wanting to use cycling to get fit - in short, it is a book of enjoyable bike rides.
Twenty cycle routes, from 5 to 23km in length, explore the best traffic-free lanes and off-road trails of two of Britain's most cycle-friendly national parks.
A number of routes stick entirely to quiet roads while others tackle rocky mountain bike trails as they explore hidden valleys and climb to stunning viewpoints. Never too long, too difficult or too remote, the rides are great fun and challenging for cyclists of all ages and abilities. Whether you are a keen rider or part of an enthusiastic family of cyclists, these rides are your route to exploring two of Britain's greatest national parks.
Ridden and written by a local rider, these rides are clearly described using step-by-step instructions and feature original maps, route profiles and local area information.

Follow the very quiet road up the valley followed by an off-road climb to a position high in the valley for views as far as Morecambe Bay. Well worth the effort put in getting up there!
