HI
Looking for road routes for a cycling day in the Lake district for a ride of about 40 - 50 miles in the Buttermere or surrounding area . Would also like some bnb recommendations too if possible . Many thanks.

    that does sound a beast of a route... Will have to give that one a try..

    I always like doing a route that starts in keswick, To threkheld on the old rilway and then up blencathra and half way around switch to Skiddaw moutain and go around the back end of this down past the waterfall from the YH, Then all the way around the back of Knott & high Pikei into mosedale then pick up a bridleway to troubeck and head on to matterdale end before picking up the old coach road at Dockray all the way back to castlerigg stone circle and then home... got to be 60k i know.. Let me know if you want the GPX file..
