This scale model of the Solar System is spread out along 6.4 miles of the old East Coast main-line railway. Along it you can find scale models of all the planets in our solar system as well as models of the Cassini and Voyager spacecraft

Mountain biking

Watch out for the Sun marker and then ride the trail towards Selby and spot all the planets along the way. Tried to educate you on how big/small they are and how far away from the sun. Interesting 👍
