Hardknott Pass Full video - Lake District Moto Camping trip August 2025

My first solo moto camping trip. I went from the Midlands (Leicestershire) to the Lake District. The aim was to ride the famous passes in the Lake district. My route included Kirkstone Pass, Whinlatter Pass, Honister Pass, Wrynose Pass followed by the famous Hardknott Pass. Just under 500 miles in all. This video is Hardknott Pass. Hardknott Pass is a hill pass between Eskdale and the Duddon Valley in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England. The tarmac-surfaced road, which is the most direct route from the central Lake District to West Cumbria, shares the title of steepest road in England with Rosedale Chimney Bank in North Yorkshire. It has a maximum gradient of 1 in 3 (about 33%). The Hardknott Pass stands at a maximum elevation of 393 m (1,289 ft).[1] The road descends steeply at a gradient of 30% (1 in 3) into the Duddon Valley. At the eastern end of the pass is Cockley Beck farm, built in the 1860s and owned by the National Trust. The route from Hardknott leads eastward towards the Wrynose Pass and Ambleside. The pass is described as one of the most challenging roads in Britain. This was the hardest pass of the day.
