Product Description
Product Description
Cycling guide to the Lancashire Cycleway - two loops, each 130 miles (225km), which meet at Whalley in the Ribble Valley, northern England. Lancashire is a great place to cycle, and cycling is a great way to see Lancashire. One of its great delights is its sheer variety. There's easy riding on the flat expanses of the west of the county and the gentle undulations of Arnside and Silverdale or the Ribble Valley. More stirring challenges are found in West Pennine Moors and the epic crossing of the Bowland Fells. But even on the wildest stretches, you're never too far from a welcoming pub and somewhere to sleep. The Cycleway comprises two distinct loops, each around 130 miles (225km) in length, which meet at Whalley in the Ribble valley. Seasoned cycle tourists can comfortably tackle either loop in a weekend, or do the whole thing inside a week. However, access by rail at numerous points means that less experienced cyclists can do it in shorter sections. This book, the first comprehensive guide to the Lancashire Cycleway, gives guidance on how to manage this, as well as a full description of the route, notes on where to find meals and accommodation, and masses of information about places of interest along the way. There is also some helpful advice for those new to cycling or cycle touring.

Whilst there is a lot of useful and interesting information, you can't rely solely on the guide to get you round. You still need to buy maps (or use a GPS like I did) and there aren't that many recommendations for accommodation. There are also many more pubs on route than are mentioned in the guide, but we stopped at one recommended by the guide and it was great.
In hindsight I think I could have planned the trip (we did the southern loop in a weekend) without the guide but I was glad to have read it for ideas and inspiration.

This is a comprehensive and very useful guide to the official cycleway in Lancashire. Although the roads are well marked these days so you can find your way around the route quite easily, having the guide adds extra interest and ideas. Useful ideas too on eating stops and accommodation and the altitude charts are very helpful in deciding how much of a challenge you want on a particular day. Well worth the money.
Format:Paperback
A really good guide that gives you a lot of ideas to explore the diverse countryside of Lancashire. Good maps and excellent route descriptions.
