Embark on an indoor cycling adventure through the stunning Lake District. Our journey begins in the remote beauty of Eskdale and Corney Fell, tucked away in the southwestern corner of the park. Surrounded by rolling hills and vast moorlands, you’ll start your ride in one of the Lake District’s hidden gems, setting the stage for the adventure ahead.

As you pedal north, the views expand, leading you through the quaint villages of Broad Oak and Birkby, where the charm of traditional stone cottages and lush green fields brings the rural beauty of the region to life. The sight of grazing sheep and the fresh country air make this a truly peaceful escape.

The ride continues alongside the River Esk, its crystal-clear waters winding through steep hills and woodlands. This section of the route offers captivating views, with the vibrant green of the trees contrasting against the deep blue river—one of the most picturesque parts of the ride.

Next, you’ll enter the sweeping Eskdale Valley, where the open terrain offers amazing vistas of the surrounding fells. The ride becomes more challenging as you climb, but every ascent brings spectacular views, and every descent delivers a thrilling rush. Eskdale’s remote beauty provides the perfect backdrop for an immersive cycling experience.

Approaching Santon Bridge, the scenery softens to more pastoral landscapes, with the village’s historic stone bridge offering a brief, scenic stop. Known for its quirky annual ‘World’s Biggest Liar’ competition, the village adds a bit of local color to the ride.

The final leg takes you through Nether Wasdale, a quiet village leading to Wast Water, one of the Lake District’s most iconic sights. As you descend toward the lake, the towering peaks of Illgill Head, Kirk Fell, Great Gable, and Great End rise above, creating a dramatic and awe-inspiring view.

Riding along the shores of Wast Water, the steep slopes of Illgill Head plunge into the lake, while the distant peaks provide the perfect backdrop. The stunning landscape of the Lake District leaves a lasting impression, completing your ride with a sense of accomplishment and awe.
