Cycle routes

Inspired by the pioneering Sea to Sea Cycle Route (C2C), the W2W route passes through a variety of wonderful countryside to the south. It stretches between Walney Island, just outside Barrow-in-Furness on Cumbria's Irish Sea coast, and both Wearmouth in Sunderland (153 miles) and Whitby (172 miles) on the North Sea coast. It's an ideal 'coast to coast' cycle touring break or longer holiday

Gamelands

One mile east of Orton is the ancient Gamelands stone circle - some 100 yards in circumference. Although one of the largest in Cumbria, many of the stones have tumbled but is none the less an interesting local site with easy access. www.cumbriastonecircles.co.uk/?Cumbria_Stone_Circles:Shap:Gamelands
