Mountain Bike Holidays in the UK and around the world - The Lake District

The Lake District - Euphoric Ulswater

A wonderful weekend of mountain biking in the Lake District, for those looking of a reasonable fitness.

You'll ride rocky river beds, steep descents, rewarding ascents, and singletrack traverses, all within the capabilities of those quite new to off-road riding, or for those just wanting a great weekend of mountain biking.

Riding from our accommodation in Penrith, we take in the beauty of the Northern Lakes, passing castles and travelling through open fells.With stunning views of Blencathra and her neighbouring mountains, we sample virtually all types of off-road riding, but at a manageable level.

With direct trains from London only just over 3 hours long, Penrith is the perfect setting for this very popular weekend. With its plethora of great local pubs and restaurants our freindly B&B provides the perfect base and offers a little luxury at the end of a day’s ride. Evening meals on Friday or taken at a great local pub and no doubt accompanied with a few local ales, with Saturday's meal in a fun local restaurant.
