Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge Peaceful Ride

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.

Come and join us for this ride which is ideal for families with children and people new to cycling.  This traffic free route takes you away from the busier towns of Windermere and Ambleside and to the peaceful village of Elterwater.  From here we ride alongside the slow flowing River Brathay and Elter Water with stunning views, lake access, meadows and an exciting waterfall as we make our way to the equally peaceful Skelwith Bridge.  The midpoint of this ride is the amazing Chester's Cafe where we will have time for a cup of tea and cake before making our way back to Elterwater.  The attractive flat meadows alongside Elterwater make this a great place to unwind.
