Details for Day Rides in The Yorkshire Dales


Day Rides in the Yorkshire Dales is a series of mapped cycle routes of varying difficulty, which run throughout the Yorkshire Dales countryside. Gentle rides through the valley or strenuous hill climbs are all covered, and offer a great day out.
For more experienced riders the Dales offers some fantastic cycling through some of the best scenery in the country. There are some of the most famous climbs in the UK to take on including the Buttertubs Pass, Fleet Moss, Park Rash and the Coal Road, or you can visit the highest pub in England at Tan Hill. If you need a gentler day in the saddle there are some long valley rides, and the more undulating countryside to the east to explore.
