This historic bridge dates back to 1770 and links the West Yorkshire village of Boston Spa with Thorpe Arch. It's a particularly pretty stone bridge that creates a lovely scene as you're passing by the River Wharfe. If you're passing over the bridge, you're afforded fantastic views up and down the waterway.

The northern bank of the River Wharfe holds a rich history of horse racing. The present-day Racecourse is situated upon land that once belonged to the Montagu family of Ingmanthorpe Hall. This expanse of land was leased to the race committee, with the inaugural meeting taking place on the 30th of March 1891. Starting in 1906, the committee embarked on a journey to enhance the course's amenities, commencing with the construction of the enduring 'Bramham' Grandstand – an edifice that stands resolute to this day.

Scramble up the side but don't come down the other side immediately there is a less steep way down further on

I rode this and using the Komoot app for the first time. Battery ran out on the way home so does not show the full route. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great cafe in Bolton Percy called Doyly's and plenty of space to put your bike where you can see them. Best purchase we have made in a long time, it has opened the joy of cycling up even more for us.
