caption_attribution_description: English: W2W - Tan Hill to Sleightholme At one stage, it seems that a motorable road ran through from Tan Hill to Bowes, but now the upper part above Sleightholme has been abandoned. It still forms a useful link for cyclists and has been incorporated into the W2W (Walney to Wear) Cycle Route http://www.cyclingw2w.info/route.htm.

  From Walney Island in the Irish Sea (54.1026°N 3.2627°W) it goes on to the industrial port of Barrow-in-Furness
  It then runs through the Furness peninsula, passing towns such as Ulverston and the picturesque Grange-Over-Sands where the route follows the Promenade.
  The route continues to skirt the Lake District national park towards the historical market town of Kendal
  After this, the path continues northwards, before moving in an easterly direction towards Kirkby Stephen and through the Pennines to Barnard Castle in County Durham
