Keswick Old Railway Path

My wife and I went for a ride on the route of the Keswick Railway Path: http://www.visitcumbria.com/kes/keswick-railway-footpath/.

We started at Keswick, rode the 3 miles or so to the end, where it meets the A66 and turned around. We didn't cross the A66 though (its very busy) and there is a little bit more on the other side at the old Threlkeld station

It was a very scenic and beautiful ride - very peaceful with very few other people on it. We rode to the end and then I got the camera out and took some photos on the way back whilst riding.
