Английская Википедия:Bay Cycle Way
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox cycling path The Bay Cycle Way is an Шаблон:Convert cycling route around Morecambe Bay in Lancashire and Cumbria in north west England.[1][2] Most of it forms National Cycle Route 700 (NCN 700), while other sections are waymarked as NCN 6 (London to the Lake District), NCN 69 (Hest Bank to Cleethorpes) and NCN 70 (Walney to Sunderland).[3]
It has been recommended by The Daily Telegraph ("20 amazing ways to enjoy the English seaside this summer"),[4] the i newspaper ("20 best cycle routes in the UK: from coastal pathways to woodland rides")[5] and the Touring Club Italiano ("Inghilterra, Scozia e Galles in bicicletta, le ciclabili più belle per una vacanza green").[6]
Route
The end points of the route are Walney Island, west of Barrow-in-Furness, and Glasson Dock, a former port on the River Lune south west of Lancaster.[7] The route goes inland to Milnthorpe to cross the River Kent at Levens Bridge, near Levens Hall, the lowest crossing point of the river by road; there are hopes that a footpath and cycleway may some time be installed alongside the railway viaduct which crosses the river at Arnside, further downstream.[8] 99.0% of the road is on asphalt roads or paths, and 28.2% is on traffic-free paths.[1] The route ascends to Шаблон:Convert between Grenodd and Cartmel,[9] and goes above Шаблон:Convert in three sections.[9] There are said to be three "challenging climbs": leaving Ulverston, ascending Bigland Hill (between Bigland Tarn and Bigland Barrow, north of Cartmel) and Warton Crag.[10] The total ascent has been calculated to be Шаблон:Convert.[3] Sustrans estimates total cycling time as 6 h 46 min at an average pace of Шаблон:Convert,[1] while the Morecambe Bay Partnership suggests a four-day itinerary.[11]
