View of the North York Moors

Highlight • Viewpoint

Good views in this area of a landscape which is up and down and kind of like all over the place. It does make you stop and appreciate it though

Trig Point S6745, North York Moors

Highlight • Viewpoint

14.1 km

700x35 as a minimum recommended tyre size on Rudland Rigg. Watch out for swathes of sand and newly applied hard core protective surfacing when riding. An excellent well maintained surface. Can get exposed and chilly high up in Bransdale carry a gilet and arm warmers.

Tip by

15.3 km

View of Farndale

Highlight • Natural

Some boggy areas. Will require boots following rain

Tip by

Low Mill Shop and Public Toilets

Highlight • Rest Area

Well worth knowing about when riding in heat to replenish water bottles

Tip by

23.6 km

Gillamoor Bank Climb

Highlight • Climb

Brace yourselves for an 11% climb. In places it’s 18%, so prep the small gears and get churning. Great way to finish this loop if you’ve parked in Gillamoor.

View of Spaunton Moor from Gillamoor Bank

Highlight • Viewpoint

A slightly shockingly beautiful view from here - surprising (walking the streets of Gilamoor, this view comes pretty much out of nowhere!). There is a bench provided from which you can admire Douthwaite Dale and the moors beyond.
