We thought it was a great place as well Shuna, we had ridden the route a few times and enjoyed it a lot. The Diversion takes you up near Castlerigg which is well worth visiting. The next time we head up to the lakes we will check out the modified route if it is still in place. Steve
I've a fascination with rail-trails and have only previously seen glimpses of this on C2C youtube vids,so thanks for a very good full video.And thanks for the update link.
Thanks for the feedback Knrst, many of the Sustrans trails we ride follow the routes of old railway lines it's something I always find interesting myself :)
Hi Claire, we have ridden the trail a couple of times, in both directions. However, we have not been able to visit since it reopened. We might make it back in the near future all being well. Steve 🚴♂️ 🚲
Hi mate, I think this route is still partially closed, there was a diversion taking you up to Castlerigg. I would probably give it a miss for now, what sort of distance are you looking for, parts of the Bay Cycle Way may interest you?
Hi, the video does mention the effects of the storm, and the description does have a link to the latest information about the route. Hope this helps. www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/caringfor/localcommunities/northern-lake-district-area/keswick-to-threlkeld-railway-path

We have walked this route and loved the history. We were so saddened by the damage done by the storm.
