Roll into Ambleside, ease west into Rothay Park, then follow the River Rothay to Rydal and mirror-still Rydal Water. Finish at Grasmere with wide fell views—match your resistance to the terrain and enjoy the colours.

Settle in for an autumn-tinted Lake District ride—no travel required. We roll out from the outskirts of Troutbeck and Townend with sweeping views of Windermere, England’s largest natural lake. A flowing descent down Hundreds Road delivers quick bends and big vistas before we slip into Skelghyll Wood, where golden leaves and dappled light set a calm, steady rhythm.
Ambleside adds a burst of village energy, then we ease west into the quiet paths of Rothay Park. Tracking the River Rothay north, narrow, winding lanes lead us to Rydal and its glass-still Rydal Water, framed by hills washed in autumn color.
For the finale, we push northwest to Grasmere, where the village and surrounding fells open into a classic Lakeland panorama. Whether you’re here to train or simply unwind, this virtual route captures the season’s magic from first pedal stroke to last.
