Nidderdale AONB

Make the environmentally friendly choice and see the AONB's landscape in all its glory and at your own pace!

 

Rather than catch a fleeting glimpse of the scenery through a car window, why not travel by bike and watch as the landscape unfolds gradually before your eyes. You will have a better chance of encountering wildlife, you can stop and chat to people along the way, you will feel healthier and you will be doing the environment a favour!

 

Cycling is a great way to get around the area and Nidderdale AONB has a range of routes to suit all abilities.  There is a good network of quiet lanes and off road tracks as well as a section of The National Byway Britain's heritage cycling route. The AONB also has miles and miles of tracks perfect for mountain bike riding - suitable for beginners and experts alike.

 

Further details of the routes, grades, features of interest and other information for cyclists and mountain bikers is available at www.cyclethedales.org.uk or www.mtbthedales.org.uk
