Cycling near Farlam Hall
You’ll find Farlam Hall ideally located for easy access to a diverse variety of cycling routes, from gently rolling, family friendly loops to more challenging, extended rides for enthusiasts keen to test their endurance.
Ride the incredible coast-to-coast Hadrian’s Cycleway, which runs alongside the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s wall, Europe’s largest surviving Roman monument. Rising to no more than 250 metres, and threading through market towns like Brampton and Haltwhistle, it’s perfect for fans of a softer incline.
Or, if you’re searching for more of a challenge, the route towards Alston combines off and on-road trails with steeper sections. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts with scenic views of rolling moorland, quaint cobbled streets and historical access routes.
