Wyreside is ideal for cyclists and pleasure walkers, birdwatchers and people who generally enjoy nature and the outdoors. We have opened up certain areas of our land for horses and cyclists and charge £5 per day for a car / trailer / horse box.

We already have a secure drying room area in our Bed and Breakfast and we have boot scrapers outside the main building. There are lockable storage areas for bikes for guests who wish to stay overnight with us.

At reception we have a list of walks (circular and straight) in the local area and in Lancashire and Bowland. Our chefs have designed a special 'light lunch' menu and packed lunches are also available. You can leave from Wyreside lakes or you can drive to any starting point within a short distance and try many of the circular walks in this area. Bird watching is a pastime supported by many and here in Lancashire we are blessed with many different species of birds and wildlife. The Forest of Bowland AONB and Arnside & Silverdale AONB are nationally protected landscapes which are beautifully unspoilt and great to explore. They are easily accessible from Wyreside (by car). There is also Leighton Moss RSPB Nature Reserve and the Wildfowl & Wetland Trust at Martin Mere.

With superb countryside, attractive routes and rugged moorland, you will find that Lancashire is a great place for cycling. Head west for a more costal ride, where you will find a network of rural lanes linking attractive villages. To the east the countryside becomes more rugged, as you climb up to the Bowland and Pennine Hills. You could try Dunsop Bridge for a great family fun bike ride or Gisburn Forest for woodland trails and off-road excitement. The lancashire cycleway (90) passes near to our entrance - this is a challenging 280 mile cycle tour of the country which offers some outstanding countryside, (including the Bowland hills) and has some steep hills but fantastic decents! Off route is the national cycle route 6 which goes between Lancaster & Preston. We can offer a welcome stop to cyclists with a light meal and refreshments to refuel those legs - we even have a campsite with a modern shower block on site for a quick refreshing overnight stop. We have access to Local cycle maps (hard copies and via the internet. Bike hire is also available from Budgie Bikes of Lancaster. We also have bridleway guides and you can park your in our carpark for a small charge of £1 per day and venture out from here!
