A 15.5 mile loop to near Haverthwaite (similar to the Collin's Cycling in Cumbria Route 13). At Cartmel leave the square at the stone arch. This road climbs steadily up the NCR700 from Cartmel up Beck side, ascending a total of 95 metres but pretty well graded, to just before High Brow edge. There is then a steep 160 metre drop down to Low Wood, picking up either the very pleasant NCR700/70 westwards (or the cycle path starting at Playdale) to Greenodd (adding around 2.5 flat miles along the river Leven each way). The route returns via the flattish B5278 to Flookburgh, with a slight easy up-and-over at Holker.
Pubs available in Cartmel (The Royal Oak) or the Ship Inn at Greenodd. Crakeside chip shop also in Greenodd.
On return there is the Rose and Crown, or the Engine Inn, in Cark
