Starting in Beckermet we will head south out of the village past St. Bridget’s church onto Hadrian's Cycleway, along the old railway track. Meandering through fields before dropping back onto the road down to Sellafield Train Station where we will follow the line before going underneath it, through the nature reserve and along the ‘cinder track’ to Seascale. Before rejoining tarmac roads and heading out to Drigg beach. Returning via the same route.

Sustrans recommends...As most of the route is either on minor roads or well surfaced off-road tracks most bikes are suitable. We would recommend all tyres apart from full slick or racing bike tyres.

Mawson's Ice Cream parlour in Seascale is usually unmissable!

Helmets are essential, a spare inner tube useful. As is comfortable clothing – a waterproof if wet. Layers as ever in this part of the world are a good idea. Bringing something to drink & a snack is advised.

We never leave anyone behind
