Find more holidays in the Lake District
Book a holiday with us and you'll not just have a trip filled with special memories, but you'll help us care for these places well into the future.
The Lake District offers an abundance of excellent cycle routes, both on road and off road, from quiet country lanes to high mountain passes, from bridleways to purpose built mountain bike trails.
Bring your bikes and spend a cycling holiday in the Lakes. Our holiday cottages and campsites are close to or directly on beautiful cycle routes. We can however highly recommend our cottage or campsite at Langdale and our two cottages on the Sizergh Castle estate which are ideally suited for cycling enthusiasts.
We also offer bike hire from Low Wray Campsite on the quiet west shore of Windermere, with easy access to lakeshore routes and great mountain-biking opportunities linking Wray Castle and Claife Viewing Station - so plenty of cake and coffee stops along the way. If you're staying at Trees or Summer House, Low Wray bike hire is just a stone's throw away.
This grand house in the Langdale Valley has a lockable outhouse with bike racks and a bike work-stand. There's also an outside tap with a brush and bucket so you can give your bikes a little TLC after a long day in the saddle. Sleeps 8.
The Langdale cycle route is on the doorstep of Silverthwaite and takes in varied Lake District scenery including meadows, woodland and a slate quarry.
Cumbria Tourism has a wide variety of downloadable cycle guides. The routes around Coniston and Ambleside are the closest to Silverthwaite.
Also on the Sizergh estate, Holeslack Farmhouse is Grade II listed and retains many original and unique features including a spiral staircase. It offers easy access to the Winster and Lyth valleys, beautiful areas for cycling. Sleeps 8.
Cumbria Tourism has a few downloadable cycle guides close to Sizergh - see 'Cycling around the Three Valleys'.
Hire bikes from campsite reception for a half, full or multiple days.
