This route for all ages takes you from the historic village of Greystoke with its castle to the unique Eycott Hill Cumbria Wildlife Trust reserve. On the 8th July Eycott Hill are having a Bioblitz, where the reserve will be logging its wildlife. A short talk about the reserve will take place at the car park.

The route includes some long but steady climbs and descents but the effort is rewarded with stunning views of nearby Blencathra and the northern Lake District fells. 

Back in Greystoke there is the possibility of refreshment at either the Cycle Cafe Garden/Barn or the village pub.
