Clip in for an autumn-coloured Lake District ride from your living room. We set off above Troutbeck and Townend with Windermere glinting below, then flow into the twisting descent of Hundreds Road before slipping beneath the gold canopy of Skelghyll Wood.

Ambleside adds a lively pulse, then we ease west into the quiet paths of Rothay Park. Following the River Rothay north, narrow lanes lead us to Rydal, where mirror-still Rydal Water sits framed by hills brushed with fall tones.

For the finale, we push on to Grasmere. The village and surrounding fells open into a classic Lakeland panorama—an energizing finish to a route that blends village buzz, woodland calm, and lakeside views. Match your resistance to the terrain and let the season set your rhythm.
