CA23 3AU
Ennerdale offers more than 10 miles of forest roads which provide an almost traffic free environment for biking. Exploring the valley by bike allows you to see the whole of the valley in one day. From views over Ennerdale water to the majesty of Pillar and Great Gable, from the crystal clear waters of the River Liza to the history of ancient settlements.
We will be starting at 10am, following the hard shale. There are no purpose built mountain bike trails in Ennerdale. However the forest roads in the valley bottom have few steep but manageable gradients and are generally wide enough to ride side by side. The steepest section is the first 350m between the car park and lake shore.
Please be aware that the forest roads can be potholed and lose gravel surfaces increase braking time and reduce control. Mountain bikes with good tread are recommended.
