The Temple Sowerby by-pass was opened in 2007, allowing traffic along the busy A66 to by-pass the village. The minor road in the foreground is the road from Cliburn and there are exits from and ways on to both carriageways of the by-pass.The blue signage indicates a slightly shorter route for cyclists bound for Penrith to join the main road. But any cyclist following the signs should beware. 300 metres to the west of this point, the separate cycle track merges with the main traffic onto a 7 km length of very busy fast single carriageway road all the way to Penrith - massive irresponsibility on the part of the Highway Agency.
