A fantastic descent from the summit of Loughrigg Fell into Skewith Bridge. Dropping 330ft in just 0.7 miles, the descent consists of a mixture of loose rocks, limestone slabs and fast gravel sections. Due to it's proximity to Ambleside, it can get busy and therefore is best ridden early in the day. Be mindful of walkers and other trail traffic.

Nice easy bridleway, watch out for rocky corner towards the bottom.
