Err... Which is the better side? Over by the Lake District? I could say something about e.g. pedaling up the road from Windemere over to Ullswater. Or further north, biking west-east along the route of Hadrian's Wall.

Maybe I've just made a bad choice of routes, but from my experience it does seem that the British, as a people, never quite managed to hit on the concept of the switchback. If sheep can go up the side of a hill, they just lay down some tarmac and slap a B-route number on it :-)
