Once in the area, the roads around Appleby for miles and miles are a cyclists' dream as they are undulating (some challenging too), but most are quiet roads with low traffic usage which makes for a safe and more enjoyable ride. Village pubs, cafes and local ice-cream specialists are en route for ideal stop-off points for a well-earned rest. Safe storage for bikes is available on request. If mountain walking is more your thing, the Pennines offers great walking, from the door. Dufton Pike and Murton Pike just a short walk away, as well as High Cup Nick. Routes in the Yorkshire Dales are a short drive away, with the Nine Standards closeby, as of course are the mountains and views of the Lake District, with Blencathra being the nearest.
