A loop taking in the stunning terrace above Loweswater in the North West Lake District. This cross-country mountain biking ride takes in byways around Fellbarrow before climbing to join the terrace, which give sublime views over Loweswater to Crummock Water and surrounding fells including Grasmoor and Whiteless Pike.
There was a fun extra section from Kirkhead taking in bridleways at the foot of Mellbreak.
This route is not in my guidebook but for more routes in the Lake District check out: www.amazon.co....

Great Vid, thanks - FYI - There's a trail round the far side of the lake that takes you up to the Fangs Brow bridleway, avoiding the road-climb. That terrace bridleway is what remains of an old 'Corps road' - great riding - when it's dry!
Loved the Whinlatter vid also - keep 'em coming!
Looks like a lovely route, thanks for letting us in on this one. I'll be there as soon as I can.
Beautiful, I'll have to visit that.
That bridleway before and after sandwich of the day 😍😍😍
Not techy but amazing 😀
@@Lakedistrictrider fast and flowing is just as good/fun as techie
@@TrailFinder i agree
Camping this week at Whinfell Hall Campsite. Did the Altura trails yesterday at Whinlatter. Climbed Mellbreak today. Gonna takle this tomorrow Ian. 👍🏻 There is a route on Komoot but I'm not sure if it follows your route. I can definitely make out the road you came down through Thackthwaite before you hit my camp site. The Komoot route has me heading left out of camp site then left again up to Mosser. Hopefully the routes are similar. Cheers Ian. Top vids as always 👌🏻
Great video!
I did that ride 2 weeks ago but the opposite way round👍
Cheers mate, how was it the other direction?
@@Lakedistrictrider Really good. It was a lovely day for it!
Nice loop Ian 👍
Cheers Mark 👍
Wow 😮
Hi. Just spotted this. Trying to track it on OS maps and failing. Climb up to Mosser Mains.. Then where? Right and down to Whin Fell? And loop back round on the road. Then lower Loweswater path to Waterend. Fangs Brow and across the higher bridleway ... along down to High Nook Farm. And back to Maggies Bridge... ???
Start Loweswater head north through Thackthwaite, left at Low Lorton Bridge climbing west onto the byway the runs north of Whinfell to Mosser Mains. Then head south on the byway to meet the road north of Loweswater (the lake). Turn right to climb Fangs Brow then left onto the bridleway the runs high above the lake.
Then High Nook Bridge, Maggie's Farm, Kirkgate Farm, Lowpark
@@Lakedistrictrider Ah - gotcha. Clockwise round Whin Fell. Cheers. Will have a go at that next time we are up that way. Did the trails from Loweswater, round Ennerdale Water to Blacksail Youth Hostel and back last time (from Buttermere) which was fun.
@@andygolborne5747 anti clockwise
@@Lakedistrictrider :-). That's what I meant. The other clockwise ...
