Easy Route - The Beatrix Potter Trail

This is our most popular route, crossing Windermere by ferry, following a scenic cycle route along the shores of Windermere, stopping at Wray Castle (where you can explore both in and outdoors if you wish), before heading round to Hawkshead and Beatrix Potters Hilltop Farm via quiet lanes, and eventually dropping back down to the ferry.

To make the ride shorter simply turn around at Wray Castle and return via the same route, cutting out the loop to Hawkshead and the need to use the lanes.

The out and back route is 85% off-road, the loop is 35% off-road with the remainder on quiet lanes.
