North Yorkshire Moors. Taking in areas such
as Ravenscar, Fylingdale Moor, Sneaton High
Moor, Goathland, Cawthorpe, Cropton Forest,

Picking up the old disused railway track
you head north towards Ravenscar and
then you turn inland towards the North
Yorkshire moors riding across B.W's &
tracks towards Fylingdale Moor & the
R.A.F. station near Sneaton High moor.

through woodland areas, forest tracks &
across high moorland B.W's to Goathland,

its North Yorkshire steam trains &
'Heartbeat' countryside. |

DAY 2
Sets off back across the moors heading
in an north direction across high moors
again and into deep wooded pine forests
where you may hear the sounds of the
North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam
engines steaming up and down the line.
You will encounter a wide variety of
surfaces as you follow the route as far
north as Cawthorpe before turning South
and heading back up on to the moors. You
will be riding into picture perfect
views where you may what to stop and get
that great snap for the album too. Day 2

DAY 3
You
cross high moorland B.W's again taking
on the terrain with its dips, climbs,
gullies, odd rocky sections and
downhill's heading as far Westerly as
Greenhow Bank right on the edge of the
North Yorkshire moors. Then you turn
South/East following tracks still riding
high up on top of the moors for a
welcomed break at a pub pit-stop at the
Lion Inn. From the Lion Inn you follow a
old disused rail track high up along the
Rosedale valley to a super fast downhill

wooded B.W's, farm tracks, pastures,
downhill rooty tracks, fords, streams
and open moorlands. You may feel like
you've gone back in time at Levisham
station, with its old fashion steam
trains trundling along & hooting. The
route you will take climbs and drops
high onto the moors and deep into the
Darncombe-Cum-Langdale End Forest. You
follow long fast downhill fire roads
heading towards the North Sea. You will
ride through picturesque villages with
pub pit-stops to refresh you along the
way before reaching the start and finish
of this epic Yorkshire Moor trail. You
could start from anywhere on this trail
we choose to crank off from Scalby
because it has a youth hostel. There are
plenty of accommodations in the
surrounding area too. |
