Best MTB Trails in the Lake District

The Lake District is widely regarded as one of the UK’s premier destinations for mountain biking, offering a rugged landscape of fells, forests and lakes that perfectly lends itself to unforgettable mountain biking holiday experiences. 

Peter and I spent the last few days biking some of the most tough but rewarding trails in the Lake District, finding new mountain biking routes and reminding ourselves why we think that the Lake District is one of the most challenging regions in the UK for technical, rocky climbs and descents through some of the most stunning vistas in England. 

The region delivers a diverse mix of technical descents, scenic biking routes along remote bridleways and purpose-built trail centres, which is why we have been offering guided and self-guided mountain biking tours through the Lake District for 15 years. You can read more about the fantastic biking tour that we offer based in the Lake District here. We are perfectly placed to offer you the most detailed route information, based on our own personal mountain biking experience in this region of England, including knowing the trails that are suitable for cycling. Our biking routes also avoid busy sections of road so that any tarmac cycling on our routes, linking fantastic off-road sections of biking trail, are limited to short stretches of cycling on quiet country roads. 

We will provide you with detailed route notes, suggesting locations for refreshments each day, maps of each route and gps files for each day of self-guided biking, luggage transfers between your accommodation each day, leaving you to carry the essentials for your day on the bike and possibly most importantly, a comfortable and cosy hotel or guest house on each night of your mountain biking tour. We're also on the end of the phone at any time if you need any emergency assistance during your biking holiday.

From forest trail centres to high mountain passes, riders can tailor their biking tour in the Lake District to suit skill levels from intermediate to advanced. The National Park is crisscrossed with bridleways, rocky paths and purpose-built tracks, making it ideal for your next tailor-made mountain biking adventure. If you're looking for a long weekend of the most rewarding mountain biking in the UK, contact us with your cycling holiday dates and we can organise the perfect mountain biking tour in the Lake District for you.
