With the Lake District having just gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status, a member of the Lake District National Park Authority team will be on hand on this ride to explain more about the World Heritage Site and why the area deserves this status.The Duddon is a very secluded and little-known valley in the remoter south western Lake District. It has just one quiet road running the length of this dramatic glaciated valley which makes it ideal for a relaxed cycle ride.
