towards Hardknott Fort. The day will start at 10am at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Station in Ravenglass. Here we will collect our fully charged electric bikes and we will then “glide” our
way along quiet country lanes, with a short section of main road, to the head of the valley, passing through the village of Eskdale Green. The views along the route are spectacular and the whole route will be full of historical and wildlife interest. We’ll finish our cycle ride at the terminus of the Eskdale and Ravenglass Railway at Dalegarth, where we’ll enjoy a well deserved lunch of soup and sandwiches. At this point we’ll catch the regular 1.50pm train which meanders down Eskdale, returning us to our starting point at Ravenglass. At Ravenglass, we’ll finish the afternoon with a short walk to visit the Roman Bath House and Roman Fort which form the most westerly point of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site.
