River Leven

Highlight • Natural

Flowing 8 miles (12.8 km) from Windemere to Morecambe Bay, the River Leven is a stunning feature in the landscape. It carves through a rocky valley that has barely changed over the millennia.

In the past, steamers travelled along the river to reach Loch Lomond. Nowadays, the river is not navigable and is instead home to varied wildlife.

Crossing the Bay

Highlight • River

There are some fantastic views crossing over the footbridge. Especially when the sun is low. It can get very busy. So you may have to push your bike
