A Tour of the Lake District

This flexible three- to five-day self-guided cycling holiday showcases the very best of the Lake District National Park. This area is home to England's biggest mountains, with views over glittering tarns and out to fell peaks - and some matching climbs that get pretty intense.

To tailor the difficulty of the ride to match your fitness and mood when you set off each morning, the Tour of the Lake District offers a choice between two routes each day.

Plunge through the heart of the region on our short mileage moderate route, or wind out further through Windermere and Bampton Grange, Hesket Newmarket and Bassenthwaite on the longer alternative.

Don't worry, you don't need to commit to one over the other for the entirety of your holiday. Just check your tour pack each morning and pick out the best option for you. There's plenty of flexibility if you wake up unexpectedly aching or raring to go.
