Horrid at the bottom. Easily 20%. Worth it for the view at the top!

Barbondale Valley

Highlight • Gorge

My happy place. The descent of Barbondale heading South West toward Barbon has to be one of the most beautiful in the country. It's a tough climb from Gawthrop, but worth it!

May 1, 2025,From Dent up on to Occupational Road , over to Kingsdale

If you like techy, manageble ( on an anolog bike ) sometimes boggy , even on a hot day , ascent , then have a go at this ! Not many miles but challenging terrain on the later bit of Occupational road .
