Why not enjoy the area from a different perspective? The countryside around Morecambe Bay has a great deal to offer cyclists of all ages and abilities.
There is an abundance of guides, maps and websites offering
the choice of some fantastic rides for keen lone cyclists, couples,
groups or a family expedition. Most of the routes are on quiet
roads or traffic-free cycleways giving you a chance to enjoy
your surroundings.

One of most interesting ways to see the Bay is from the Bay Cycle
Way a popular national long-distance route of 81 miles (130Km).
It will take you from Walney Island on dedicated cycle ways and
quiet country lanes around the bay to Glasson Dock just south of
Lancaster. In the main, the terrain is level or gently undulating with a couple of challenging climbs which provide you with amazing panoramic views. You’ll pass through a mixture of vistas and landscapes with lots of opportunities to explore some of our local heritage sites and many stops for ‘a loo, a brew or a view’.
There is plenty of accommodation on route so your adventure can take as many days as you choose, and you can also make use of the round the bay railway line from Lancaster to Barrow in Furness.

Why not explore the Forest of Bowland by bike. Five stunning routes with detailed maps are available from the Forest of Bowland website.
The routes vary in length and give the rider a flavour of the excellent cycling throughout this area of outstanding natural beauty.

 The Lancaster & Morecambe area has a number of routes
covering the city, coast and countryside of Lancaster and
surrounding area including the Lune river valley and canals
which are covered by the Ways Around the Bay website

Not forgetting The Way of the Roses. This is a spectacular coast to coast 170 mile cycle route from Morecambe to Bridlington taking in some of the best cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty in northern England.

Special cycling events take place during the year including the Retro Rendezvous festival weekend in Ulverston from 30th May – 31st May.
The Tour de Furness is a charitable event organised by the
Barrow Rotary club with a choice of four routes from 5 to 50 miles.
It tests physical fitness and is not a race. This year’s event is on
Sunday 28th June.
