Walney to Wear Sustrans cycle route map

This would be the official Walney to Wear Sustrans cycle route map to the 151 mile cycle ride between Barrow-in-Furness and Sunderland. However, it is out of print!

A best option now would be to use the Sustrans pocket-sized maps. You would need South Cumbria; County Durham; then depending on your finish point, either Tyne & Wear or North York Moors.

Walney – Wear cycle route

You can read an article about the route on the website of The Westmorland Gazette here: “A series of country lanes and quiet roads have been linked by sections of cycle paths, forest trails and off-road tracks to form an integrated, sign-posted route across the country. The W2W has been developed by Sustrans, a national charity whose aim is to encourage people to walk, cycle and use public transport. The same body opened the now world-famous C2C cycle route from Whitehaven to Sunderland in 1993, which is used by around 15,000 cyclists every year.”
