The increase in off-road and forest cycle trails has led to the Lake District becoming a popular destination for those that enjoy exploring the landscape on two wheels. The larger towns usually have cycle hire facilities as well as providing specialist bike shops for repairs and servicing. Popular cycling locations for families include Whinlatter Forest to the north-west of Keswick and Grizedale Forest to the west of Windermere. Cycling Holidays - Cycle Breaks provide fully supported cycling holidays in England, France, Italy and Austria
