Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου Bempton

Εδώ πηγαίνει γρήγορα (η ανάβαση είναι λίγο πιο κουραστική) και κατεβαίνεις γρήγορα στην παραλία. Τα τελευταία μέτρα όμως είναι πολύ απότομα και αν υπάρχουν πεζοί, θα πρέπει να σπρώξετε το ποδήλατο, καθώς ο δρόμος από το καφέ και μετά είναι πολύ στενός.

A beautiful old mansion with a unique interior and a lovely garden. There's also a good café next door. Ideal for a stop.

Flat ride but worth the visit

The gate of an old church. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what used to stand there, whether it was a monastery or something else. But I found this portal very impressive.

A great spot to add on your trip if you like puffins. They begin to arrive in late April and start settling into their burrows in May each year. By late July most of the chicks have fledged and the adults begin returning back to the open sea. By August all the puffins have left Bempton Cliffs as they spend the winter in the northern oceans.

The Rudston monolith is the tallest prehistoric standing stone in Britain, measuring almost 8 metres high, nearly 2 metres wide, a metre thick and estimated to weigh somewhere in the region of a massive 26 tons. This giant block of grey sandstone or gritstone was errected here either in the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age and is thought to have been quarried more than 10 miles away in the Cayton Bay area south of Scarborough, although the glacial transportation of a large block of stone that was then shaped and utilised by the prehistoric residents of the area cannot be ruled out. The top of the stone has been weathered and eroded into a fluted peak similar to the stones of the Devil's Arrows and a lead cap was first added to try to preserve it in the 18th century. The churchyard of All Saints that it stands in is of course much younger and although the christianisation of the site took place around 1100AD the stone had already stood here for at least 3000 years. The monolith stands close to the Gypsey Race, an occasional stream that flows along the floor of the Great Wold Valley from close to the barrow of Duggleby Howe in the east, past another pair of barrows at Wold Newton and Willie Howe before turning south past the Argham Henge and Cursus down to Rudston itself where it bends sharply and heads eastwards to the sea at Bridlington. The whole of the Gypsey Race landscape was obviously important in prehistoric times and holds a rich selection of sites, most of which have been destroyed or badly damaged by ploughing, including many round barrows, several long barrows, four cursuses and at least one henge. It continued to retain its importance into the historic period - a major Roman villa was discovered to the southwest of Rudston village. In the corner of the churchyard is a much smaller stone presumably brought here from a local barrow and also the remains of a double cist that was removed from a nearby barrow on Rudston Beacon by the antiquarian Canon Greenwell in the late 19th century.

Beautiful local village pond - thriving with life with moor hens and ducks. Great place to stop and feed the birds or sit with a sandwich on the benches.

Marker board signifying Bridlington end (or start) of the Way of the Roses route.
