A village that's still riding high on the 2014 Tour de France hype, Pateley Bridge is a real treat when you pass through on a bike. A lot of idyllic stone houses in this small market town. In 2016 it won a national award for its high street and the locals really take pride in their environment. The local delicacy is the Pateley Pie and they reckon it's best to try it from one of the two local butchers.

Boroughbridge High Street

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Boroughbridge has a bustling high street with plenty of cafes and a bakery for refuelling and recharging.

Boroughbridge is halfway between London and Edinburgh so was historically an important stopover for stage coaches. In 1754 the journey was 10 days in summer and 12 in the winter so an arduous journey. No doubt the hospitality of Boroughbridge (then Burrow Bridge) was very welcome indeed.
