With a multitude of winding mountain roads, tracks and trails surrounding the Three Shires Inn, it is the ideal starting point for seeing the Lakes on two wheels.
Mountain bikers will love the network of lanes that run between Langdale and Coniston and the lung-busting steep passes of Hardknott and Wrynose offer a serious challenge for road cyclists.
Cyclists on the gruelling Fred Whitton Challenge - a 113 mile road ride over all the highest passes of the Lake District - pass nearby the inn every year.
