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, all of its stones have tumbled and none is higher than one yard, so is infrequently visited, though access is easy.
