Obelisk at Ripon Market Place

Highlight • Historical Site

Ripon is actually a city, not a town as its size might suggest. A small city maybe, but one that is full of history.

The Market Place is the centre of Ripon, with its 24m obelisk at the centre, the oldest free standing obelisk in England built to replace the old market cross.

From here expand a network of streets and alleyways with a plethora of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants always ready to feed a pair of hungry legs.

Sutton Howgrave Village Green

Highlight • Settlement

Sutton Howgrave is a small village with a pleasant green and duck pond.

There are no shops, pubs or cafes here but it is worth heading into the village when cycling through to appreciate the greenery and vine covered houses.

Bedale Market Town

Highlight • Cafe

Bedale is a thriving market town centred round a cobbled, Georgian square. It still continues its 750 year tradition of holding its market on a Tuesday. As it is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales it makes for a great base for exploring further.

There are a number of great cafes in the town or for something cycling specific try the Tandem Cafe on the Bedale Road heading north east from the centre.

There a number of interesting historic buildings in Bedale, including Bedale Hall, the Leech House (used by an apothecary to store leeches) and the Old Grammar School.
