Map/Route Updates


1. Kendal
The route in and out of Kendal shown on the map isn’t yet signed as W2W (20). From Natland you can follow NCN 6 signs pretty much into the centre of town along the line of the old canal.
To leave Kendal, retrace your route in to Burton Road and then turn left to join Oxenholme Road to cycle up past the railway station. Turn left at the crossroads by the Station Inn to continue on the route.

Travelling westwards into Kendal you can carry straight on at the crossroads just before mile marker 43 and head down the hill (Sedbergh Road) to the junction with the main road at the bottom. Turn left and then, with care, turn right into Castle Road to go under the railway bridge to where NCN 6 crosses Parkside Road. Turn right here to reach the town centre.

2. Combining with the C2C
If yout thinking of combining the Walney to Wear and C2C routes for a longer circular tour, then the outline of a suggested (and steeply undulating) link route between Greenodd (near Ulverston) and Whitehaven at the western end of the C2C route will be available to download here just as soon as we have it.

The two routes merge by Wearmouth Bridge in Sunderland on the North Sea coast and share the same alignment between the bridge and Roker beach.
