Flat ride but worth the visit

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.

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

Lovely spot with a selection of hot and cold food and drinks. Delicious cake and welcomes cyclists with bike lock ups, outside seating and a warm fire on when it's cold outside. Specials each day change on the board, be sure to ask.

Part of Cranswick Garden Centre is a really nice cafe that does a good selection of coffees and cakes. They have some bike parking available (some undercover too).

Beverley Minster was constructed in the 13th century and holds the claim of one of the largest parish churches in England. It's a beautiful piece of architecture, often regarded as one of the most stunning Gothic buildings in Europe. Its stained-glass windows are renowned, with some dating back to the 14th century. I'd highly recommend taking a walk inside the building, which is open between 10am-4pm Monday to Saturday.

Situated in the churchyard in the village of Rudston, this monolith, which stands at over 25 feet, is the tallest megalith in the United Kingdom.

Beautiful C2C route in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Historic shipyard where boats were launched broadside. Still lots of boat building machinery around.

Beverley Minster is one of the largest parish churches in the UK and is a seen as a gothic masterpiece. It is also known as the Parish Church of St John and St Martin. The building as it stands today was completed in the 15th century but there has been a religious site here since 700. St John was buried in the chapel of the saxon church which stood here in the 8th century and the present minster was built around it.

Bridlington Priory dates from 1113 and was once part of a bigger monastery of the Augustinian order. Only the nave remained after the destruction of buildings and that is what stands here today as the parish church. St John of Bridlington, the last English person to become a saint before the reformation, was Prior at the monastery

The official start or end (depending on direction of travel) for the Way of the Roses route. Bridlington beach is a great place to start or end any route, especially the WotR. It's very close to the train station and lots of car parking so an ideal start point. Plus there are plenty of great fish and chip options for if you're finishing here too.

Great cycling themed cafe, good coffee and great food. You can even bring your bike inside!

Great place to stop for a breather and be amazed at the architecture

The roads around Southburn, Hutton Cranswick and Skerne are wonderfully flat and have an air of Belgium about them. These roads are also on the Way of the Roses. The flat reward for all the hills before now.

Rudston Monolith is the tallest standing stone in Britain, but receives very few visitors relative to its high standing. The monolith dates from around 2000BCE and is quarried from the Cleveland Hills, west of Whitby. At just shy of 8m high, it would have involved a significant project to shape and transport and install it.
