Lowther Castle is on our doorstep The National Cycle Network's 136 mile "Sea to Sea" cycle route passes through Penrith (10 minute drive). The Keswick to Penrith section, about 25 miles long, is described as "an easy ride of ever changing views". Other National Cycle Network routes nearby include Penrith to Carlisle and Penrith to Appleby.
Eden is an outstanding area for walking, whether you enjoy a hike on the high open fells or a gentle riverside stroll. If you cycle, you'll love the quiet country lanes and Cycle Routes through all surrounding villages
Explore the miles of footpaths across meadow and pasture, through fields
of oats and tiny woodland copses to discover a hidden village or lonesome
farmstead. The quiet lanes along with the delightful vistas and abundant
wildlife make cycling a pleasure. Pedal through lanes thickly hedged and
winding, reach lowland hamlets where the view takes you to the Pennines
or the Lakeland hills or the fells with streams aplenty, that trickle
down into The Eden river, the predominate feature of the valley
