The scenery surrounding this location is stunning. It feels like you're driving a few miles and seeing the same mountains, just from slightly different angles. Even the bad weather couldn't dampen my spirits.

Suspension would be good but not 100% necessary.

Ride past the cafe and around the back in between the caf and the bike shop. Hang your bike in the rail and there is an outdoor hatch to beat the indoor queues. There’s also a drinking water tap to fill up before the rest of your ride.

July 14, 2025, Isle bridge

Isel Bridge, located near Setmurthy in the northern Lake District, is an elegant Grade II-listed bridge that spans the River Derwent. Built in 1812 to replace an older bridge dating from 1691, it consists of three segmental arches and two piers of calciferous and pink sandstone, with a solid parapet and saddleback covering. The bridge is situated in a conservation area and is a popular passage for walkers and cyclists, including as part of the Allerdale Ramble and routes to Watch Hill and Setmurthy Common. Its location offers beautiful views of the surrounding hills and valleys, and it's a peaceful place to stop when touring the western Lake District.
