Wrynose Pass Climb from Cockley Beck

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Wrynose Pass 2.5km at 11%. It's a tough climb as you can see it going on forever in front of you. It's a mental game to keep going!

Wrynose Pass Climb from Fell Foot Farm

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Incredibly steep (almost all over 20%) but so rewarding when you get to the top. The average grade is 11% for this 1.6 mile (2.5 km) climb. On the more gentle slopes at the bottom you'll be admiring Langdale Pikes before the road veers to the left. Definitely take a pause and look back at where you just came from – the view is beautiful, one of the best in the Lakes.

At the top of the pass you'll spot the little Three Shires Stone that marks this meeting points of the former county borders (Cumberland, Lancashire and Wastmorland).

FYI: As tempting as it is to pronounce Wrynose as 'rhinoes', locals usually say something more like 'Wreynuss'.

Little Langdale Tarn Road

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!

Honister Pass Climb from Gatesgarth

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Imposing and consistently steep, with the hardest stretch near the top and a long stretch of rising road beforehand that will start to tax you before you even reach the climb proper

Lakeside Road by Crummock Water

Crummock Water

Highlight • Lake

Buttermere is the highest up the valley or most easterly. Next is Crummock Water which is the longest of the three lakes in the Buttermere valley. It's managed by the National Trust. The road along the valley is lovely to ride running right along the banks for some sections.
Good pub and café in Buttermere village and lots of options for picnic or swimming spots all along this road.
