We went cycling around Grizedale in April and really enjoyed it. We hired the bikes from the visitor centre, which was about £20 for the day each, with a map of all of the routes.

We opted for the strenuous 10 mile hike which took almost 5 hours and the views were stunning. The forest is full of wooden sculptures which you pass on the way. 2. You can hire bikes (approx £20) and cycle... more
