Eden Valley Ride

Across the valley floor and along its undulating sides, courtesy of stone bridges over the Eden and Lyvennet rivers (and numerous becks that feed them), this ride has excellent views to the eye-catching contours of the North Pennines and distant Lakeland fells.

Picturesque Dufton and Morland villages in particular provide refreshment stops, and there's the option of a short riverside walk at Acorn Bank Gardens.
