Clip in and let the Lake District fill your screen. We roll out beneath Helvellyn, then cruise into a fast, flowing descent to the quiet shores of Thirlmere, where crisp air and big views set the tone.

Swinging left through the Wythburn Valley, we trace the lake’s western edge with Helvellyn’s rugged flanks alongside. The shoreline pulls us north to Legburthwaite, a pocket of peaks and valleys that feels unmistakably Lakeland.

From there, the route opens into St John’s in the Vale, famed for sweeping panoramas of mountains and water. We continue to Threlkeld, where stone cottages and narrow lanes offer a glimpse of village life against dramatic fells.

The finale unfolds beneath Blencathra, its distinctive ridges rising like a stage curtain over the northern fells. It’s a calm yet uplifting finish to a route rich in contrast.

Whether you’re chasing effort or ease, match your resistance to the terrain and let the scenery set your rhythm. This Helvellyn to Blencathra journey brings some of the UK’s most inspiring landscapes to your indoor ride.
