Explore the Elterwater - Oak Howe Loop
Location: South Lakeland, England
Explore a rewarding 5.7km loop through South Lakeland, starting with an immediate, challenging tarmac climb from Elterwater towards Baysbrown Farm. This initial ascent, though steep, offers welcome shade on sunny days, transitioning to a rougher track for a downhill stretch with fell views. The varied surfaces and gradients keep you engaged, offering both a workout and scenic rewards.
After the initial challenge, enjoy a flat, serene riverside section leading to Chapel Stile. The route then passes the distinctive slate mounds before completing the loop. This run is ideal for those seeking a varied training session with mixed terrain, or for visitors who enjoy an invigorating run through scenic Lakeland landscapes without extensive distance.
