Mountain bike enthusiasts

The new 10 mile North Face Mountain Bike Trail is England's most challenging purpose built mountain biking trail. It comprises 10 sections of sinuous single track joined by forest tracks in Cumbria's already popular and picturesque Grizedale Forest (7 miles).

2 Cambridge Villas has facilities specifically designed for Mountain bikers. We have a drying room, a secure cycle store and a pressure washer to get the mud off your bike.

For a full day out, the cosmopolitan city of Manchester offers a wealth of cultural and entertainment experiences. Alternatively, to the north, the Scottish borders (Burns Country) provide a beautiful contrast to the Lake District National Park.
