Mountain Hikes Blog

We organise hiking breaks, yoga breaks, treks and tours in the UK and Europe. The emphasis is on organising trips where people can enjoy great scenery, great activities and great company in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. As well as hiking we have a huge fondness for tea and cake, so we always end each walk with plenty of tea and homemade cake, by Yen. This blog is a mixture of Mountain Hikes activities and some of our own adventures too. Our main website page is at www.mountainhikes.co.uk.

Tour of Hawkshead, Coniston and Windermere

Our midweek cycle ride this week took us down to Bowness to get the short ferry across Windermere. We then headed across to Hawkshead and some tourist photos outside the Beatrix Potter shops. We then cycled down the Eastern side of Coniston with great views of the Lake and a lovely quiet lane.
A busier section then took us across to Newby bridge and then up the Eastern side of Windermere before heading back along the Crook road. A lovely ride and quite cool and comfortable weather.
