Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of the World Heritage Lake District. This tour could be named the Electric Lakes Tour as it has been designed to experience the natural beauty and stunning terrain on a battery-assisted bike. This is a game-changer. This World Heritage Site has inspired numerous writers, artists, and poets. Now you too can fall under its magic without being defeated as you pedal from serene Lake Bassenthwaite in the north to magnificent Lake Windermere in the south. Much of the route is off the beaten track, through stunning woods, past cozy inns, and over fords to small breweries and tiny water mills. This tour would be rated difficult if not for the electric bike option that changes the difficulty so we are giving it an overall rating of easy to moderate on an electric bike, depending on how much assistance you utilize. Much of the route is off the beaten track, through stunning woods, past cozy inns and over fords to small breweries and tiny water mills. 15% of the route is on hard-surfaced cycle paths with the remainder on quiet back roads. There is a one mile section on a busier road. There are hills to contend with every day. You could opt to do this tour with a standard touring bike but please be prepared for a difficult bike tour.
