Area: North York Moors Region: North Yorkshire Moors County: Yorkshire Activities: Cycling Details: The North York Moors have some fantastic places for you to ride your bike. Everything from family cycle routes, to long road rides and some of the best off-road cycling in the country can be found on and around the moors. Dalby Forest features a whole range of routes, covering everything from well marked, family cycling routes in the forest, to challenging off-road routes for the more experienced mountain biker. There are also some exciting new developments under-way, with several new all-weather trails being constructed, and new North Shore style trails already built; so all riders, no matter what style of cycling they prefer, will find something they enjoy in the wonderful part of Yorkshire. For those seeking to get away from it all, there are several long distance cycle ways in the area. There's a scenic route which runs along an old railway line from Whitby to Scarborough. Plans are in progress to extend this route by linking Whitby with Saltburn. There is also a network of off-road trails called the 'Moors to Sea' which cross the National Park between Whitby, Scarborough and Pickering. Part of National Cycle Route 65, also called the ‘White Rose’ route, a long distance cycle trail running from Hull to Middlesbrough, passes through the west of the North York Moors. If mountain biking is your thing, the Moors have plenty to keep you busy. The rolling hills and wooded valleys provide a beautiful backdrop for anything from a gentle afternoon's pedal, to an epic ride which will challenge even the fittest and most dedicated mountain biker. Last but no means least; road cyclists can enjoy miles of quiet roads passing through pretty villages, dramatic moor lands and tranquil valleys. You can climb what is reputedly the steepest road in the country at Rosedale Chimney, or try riding through the beautiful and quiet roads around Bransdale. When you feel like a break, there are plenty of tea rooms and unique pubs to stop at on the way. The Everley Loop Mountain Bike Route is an easy, short route near Scarborough, which ends at a pleasant country hotel. The route is very suitable for beginners, or those looking for an easy, but pleasant route, for further information click Everley Loop Mountain Bike Route Within the North York Moors and surrounding region there is a vast selection of places to stay.
