The Bay Cycle Way is an 80-mile (130 km) cycling route around Morecambe Bay in Lancashire and Cumbria in north west England.[2][3] Most of it forms National Cycle Route 700 (NCN 700), while other sections are waymarked as NCN 6 (London to the Lake District), NCN 69 (Hest Bank to Cleethorpes) and NCN 70 (Walney to Sunderland).[1]

It has been recommended by The Daily Telegraph ("20 amazing ways to enjoy the English seaside this summer"),[4] the i newspaper ("20 best cycle routes in the UK: from coastal pathways to woodland rides")[5] and the Touring Club Italiano ("Inghilterra, Scozia e Galles in bicicletta, le ciclabili più belle per una vacanza green").[6]
