Grizedale Forest (Hawkshead)

About the riding

Grizedale is a Lake District staple because it offers a broad spread of riding styles in one place: graded routes, longer linking tracks, and a feel that can shift from trail-centre structure to more natural “Lakeland” texture depending on where you ride. For eMTB riders, it’s a strong venue for full days out because pedal-assist helps you cover more of the network and makes it easier to combine multiple routes into one ride without the climbs dominating the day.
