Castle Lodge

Highlight • Historical Site

Castle Lodge is quite an impressive building to look at. Built on the sides of a daunting hill, on slightly open land in front, the views from the castle must be impressive

Bag End Replica (Upsall Town Hall)

Highlight • Monument

Take a ride into the Shire and take a look at Bilbo and Frodo's house. A good replica of Bag End (private house)

Tip by

12.0 km

Close to this bridge I was able to park the car, away from the town centre car parking that you have to pay for, which is £1.40 per hour as of April 2024. There are plenty spaces besides the houses. This bridge has small single tracks running parallel to the river

Thirsk Market Place and Clock Tower

Highlight • Rest Area

The market place here in Thirsk is its vibrant centre full of cafes and an open air market on Mondays and Saturdays.

It is famous for its racecourse and the former home of James Herriot, vet and author of the books which inspired 'All Creatures Great and Small', the hit BBC series. His house and vet surgery are now a museum, 'The World of James Herriot'.

Yorks of Thirsk Café

Highlight • Cafe

Situated on the main square, opposite some decent cycle parking this is a decent place to get breakfast. I had poached eggs on toast - very well cooked. There is some cycle themed memorabilia in the café which adds a nice touch.

Sutton-Under-Whitestonecliff Village

Highlight • Settlement

Sutton-Under-Whitestonecliff is a nice small village. It is located on the verge of the west side of the North Yorkshire moors. You get a clear view of Sutton Bank which you have to climb slightly ahead. Caravans are not allowed to use this road at the steep hill ahead, they have to divert
