Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive at your comfortable hotel in the heart of South Lakeland, with great cuisine and comfortable facilities, overlooking gardens and picturesque Lakeland Fells.
Day 2
The first cycling day offers you the chance to enjoy a circular trip around the scenic lanes of South Lakeland, with the option of visiting centers of local interest if you choose. Throughout your tour, you will be able to take in the views of the fells on roads less traveled, away from the usual Lakeland traffic. The route allows for regular pauses to enjoy the scenery, feast on a picnic, or enjoy the local cafes and pubs.
On an e-bike, there is no strain or pressure of time, just the chance to take in your surroundings. As you complete the cycle loop, there is the opportunity, for those with a thirst for a panoramic view, to take a stroll up Gummers How with rewarding views across Lake Windermere towards the Central Fells.
Day 3
After a good night's sleep and hearty breakfast, the second cycle day of the tour takes in the stunning scenery of the central Lakes - mountain ranges and lake views. Today’s adventure covers about 34 miles, with plenty of potential for route variations to suit your levels of energy. The day starts with a short journey to the Bowness Ferry, which crosses Lake Windermere and provides access to a beautiful ride along the lakeside cycleway to Wray Castle.
From here, you will have a choice of routes, possibly going further north via Ambleside, Grasmere and/or Elterwater, or a gentle meander along the lanes to Hawkshead for lunch at a choice of cafes or pubs. The afternoon return ride takes you around Esthwaite Water and past Beatrix Potter’s ‘Hill Top House’ to the ferry and a gentle return ride back to your hotel.
Please note that the route can be adjusted on a daily basis.
