The history of the pub dates back to 1685 following a devastating fire of Sicklinghall. The Scott family, principal land owners in the area built the inn as part of the rebuild of the village a benevolance which carried on into the 19th century when among other things they built the village school.

A lovely little detour for both cyclists and walkers. Adjacent to St Barnabas church. A quiet lane.

A great bike shop with helpful staff.

Cycling is permitted on the bridleways around the forest. Fabulous views. Just be respectful of horse riders and walkers.

Nice little reserve. Would have to walk your bike or lock it up but good place for birdwatching. Greater Spotted Woodpecker and kingfisher are regulars.

unforgettable memories ! and the herd of deer is impressive

keep your eye on the track

Cuts the corner off so you don't have to ride so far along main road - bit of off road and normally see loads of deer

Spofforth held paramount significance as the primary residence of the Percy family, a pivotal and commanding lineage in the northern realms of England, until the concluding era of the 14th century. William de Percy, a cherished figure in the eyes of William the Conqueror, erected a distinguished manor house upon this land during the 11th century. It is said that within these very grounds, insurgent barons convened to draft the historic Magna Carta in the year 1215.

Small fortified manor house.

Spofforth Castle was a fortified Manor House, supposedly where the Magna Carta was written in 1215. The castle was bought by the people of Spofforth in 1985 to ensure that it could continue to be enjoyed by the local community. This means it is free to visit for everyone.

A good steady climb if you're heading away from Otley, but the real fun is on the descent. It's a wide road so a good run into Otley. The view to your right is pretty good too.

A very popular road for local cyclists, with a great view on both sides. If you're coming from Wetherby you'll have climbed to get here so you'll have earned it!

Interesting info about the history of East Keswick
