Route description
1. Now to head to the coast, taking in some great forestry riding at Dalby on route.
But first we have a treat for you. Some more of the very best singletrack in the UK
on offer. Climb Rosedale Bank to the hotel. You may need to walk up this road. It's
England's steepest road! Take the BW off to the Left, passing Bank Farm and a
cattle grid on route to the BW junction at Hollins Farm.
2. At Hollins Farm take the singletrack that skirts the edge of the moor undulating
along some sublime moorland riding until it eventually gives way to a track which
leads to tarmac at Lower Askew. Follow the road down to Cropton, then taking a
short stretch of track to the Left which cuts out the roads before taking you along
High Lane to Cawthorne.
3. At Cawthorne take the tarmac BW off to the left signed to ‘Kieldy Forest Cabins.’
Keep on the BW as it heads past High Cawthorne, turning Right approximately 1km
past Elleron Lodge onto Peat Road (track).
4. At the tarmac lane T junction with Peat Road turn Left and then Right onto the BW
that skirts the forest at Rain Dale before heading south to Newton on Rawcliffe.
This BW meets the edge of the village by a stone bench to your right just before the
road, where the BW continues sharp Left. Follow this for 200 metres to where the
BW drops gently down through trees, linking in to a track (turn Right) which should
be followed to Levisham Station.
5. Cross safely over the line and take the narrow lane to the sharp apex of the bend
where a BW is joined. Follow this as it turns east and climbs the steep bank before
dropping down south to the junction of tracks (footpath and BW).
6. Take the short stretch of singletrack east until a further well signed junction, then
turning northwards and cycling through the stone paved ford which leads on to an
excellent stone track which circumnavigates the magnificent Hole of Horcum.
Enjoy the superb views as you roll along, eventually descending to the A1169 road.
Follow this south a short distance, ignoring the first small gated BW and taking the
second signed BW which lies at the back of the small car parking area overlooking
the Hole of Horcum. Follow this track for some distance as it leads you along flat
meadows and into Dalby Forest.
