Surface is best for a mountain bike or a gravel bike. Beautiful views. Very quiet.

A quiet old narrow road with charm.

Several"No cycling "signs have been fitted at the ring road entrance in the past but they are always vandalised and removed by people who presumably think that cycling should be allowed. This causes conflict between cyclists and walkers which is unfortunate. Some sections of the path can get quite overgrown and narrow.

Rode through from the ring road, no signs posted from my direction, followed the route and at the gate on the Shadwell side said it said no cyclists, a very rude woman walking her dogs nearly knocked me over as she would not let me pass until the last second, they need signs on both sides, but there are plenty of other cycle tracks so I’m not the only one who’s gone through.

Eaay single track for a mtb

Gravel road

This is a fun river crossing over the Gilil Beck. When the river is low, you can ride straight through, or use the elevated walkway if the water is high.

A few drops and kickers

Tunnel still Closed. Looks long term

Woodhall Bridge is a beautiful five-span wrought iron truss that spans over the River Wharfe. The bridge was constructed in 1868 as a railway bridge by Joseph Whitham and Son of Leeds, it now acts as a bridleway carrying pedestrians and cyclists over in a scenic woodland area. It's a beautiful place to stop and catch your breath before continuing your meander along the river.

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 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!

A nice little village with plenty of history. There is a board with a map of a walk with historical interest . Nice pub and coffee in the library.
