Come and try this most beautiful and charming route through the amazing Lowther Castle grounds and neighbouring village of Askham, described by Alfred Wainwright as "Westmorland's the most attractive village". Cycle into another world along the traffic free driveway into the grandeur of the estate grounds, before visiting Lowther Castle not to mention passing Brougham Castle and Hall along the way. This 11 mile route is a gentle ride for those wanting to saviour the best the Eden Valley has to offer! A route certainly not to missed.
