Description by the author

This cycle route takes you past the Carsington Water and the Via Gella, 2 absolute opposites in terms of views. One is a beautiful and idyllic lake while the other is a road that lives through an impressive valley with impressive rock walls. Perfect setting for a nice bike ride.
