"Starting in Keswick, the 28-mile loop takes cyclists through some of the region’s most dramatic landscapes and iconic views, including the rugged fells of Borrowdale, Ashness Bridge and Surprise View.

"Newbies beware, this route is not for the faint of heart and the circuit includes some challenging climbs and technical descents. But for those who feel confident on two wheels, the showstopping views of cascading waterfalls and towering peaks make it all worthwhile.

"For the best views, cycle in a clockwise direction past Watendlath, Roshwaite and Seatoller, then stop at one of the old-world pubs or cafes in Borrowdale village before tackling the final stretch."

So go on, get out there!
