So my 4yr old has just got rid of her stabilisers but trying to think of where to ride with her that's not too hilly!

Been along the promenade at grange a few times but wold be nice to find some easy gravel tracks.

Tarn how's would be good but it's just a footpath and always busy. Any recommendations in South lakes area?

How about Ambleside up to Rydal? Closed road, not to hilly and you can play around on the stepping stones to break things up a bit.

I can see Grange prom getting a bit boring! Maybe check out some of the wheelchair access paths such as that on Loughrigg terrace round the side of Rydal Water.

The track along from the Windermere ferry past Claife Heights towards Wray Castle would be suitable - park at the end of the tarmac just north of Ferry Nab. An out and back so you can judge when she gets tired and just turn round.

This was the one I was thinking of.

Deffo the chesters/elterwater or wray castle/ferry.

Second is a little longer with a little hill. Normally an ice cream van at ferry. Enjoy

Buttermere has a lovely BW down one side of the lake, with pub, and ice screams in the village
