Dalston and Burthwaite Loop

This route is mostly flat, undemanding and on quiet minor roads. Making it an ideal confidence builder for anyone looking to venture out a bit further on their bike. Much of the route is scenic and on a clear day, the southern uplands of Scotland and the northern fells of the Lake District can be seen. The final 3 miles back to Dalston is mainly downhill, so a great way to finish a lovely ride.
