let that scare you — this route features
some inspiring climbs that are nothing
short of legendary on the British scene.
The slopes of Rosedale Chimney

peloton, but get the right gearing on
your bike and they can also be enjoyed.
The North York Moors National
Park is a place of breathtaking beauty
that ’s best enjoyed on two wheels.
With countless places to visit and
plenty of places to stay, this route is
just one of many you could enjoy in

Getting away from it
Avoid holiday season and you
could have many of these roads
all to yourself, save for a few sheep.
The North York Moors are as desolate
as they are beautiful and as such are
perfect for riding. The road surfaces
are pretty good too. Be sure to pack all
your essentials and be self-sufficient, as
calling for help might not be an option.2
