This is the classic C2c (coast to coast) route from Whitehaven to Sunderland or Tynemouth. It misses the less interesting part of the hartside pass and is much quieter as it only joins the main route with about 3km to go. It is a bit steeper however but nothing to worry about. Avoid hartside pass altogether on bank holidays. ... read more

Starts really nicely, little country roads but good road surface. Some switchbacks. Joins the main road but epic views, fairly kind traffic and it is easy for cars and motorbikes to overtake. Car park at the top, remnants of the old cafe. Awesome views of the Lake District in the distance.
