A hidden gem and interesting story behind the construction of the Temple. Beautiful views and an interesting undulating walk through stunning countryside.

Excellent food for the hungry cyclist.

Stayed the night here on a rather cold night in early March. Despite the cold the weather was sunny and I had a wonderful sleep. Although don't expect to get a mobile reception. I must say a big thank you to the Bolton Estate for allowing walkers/cyclists/bikepackers to use this wonderful facility. If you use it please make sure you leave it as you would expect to find it.

Great castle/palace also wilde boar in roaming free behind it

Lovely castle with a hard little climb alongside up into the village

the drive to the temple was well worth it. You will find a cafe, and family area, before a short walk up to the temple. the set up of the rock formations is mind blowing, but very interesting. a big tick for me to visit again.

The castle was constructed in the 14th century.

The church dates from the 14th century the same as the adjoining castle.

The church is opposite Bolton Castle

Super cool castle. Even had a re-enactment on when we passed!

This isn't an actual temple, it's a 19th century folly created to provide employment for local people by the wealthy landowner William Danby. It's styled as a smaller version of Stone Henge and although only 200 years old it's still atmospheric and worth a visit.

This was the perfect spot for lunch on this walk, just over halfway round and after the climb. This is an interesting place, my kids loved exploring it and we stayed about an hour before moving on.

A quirky folly which is not a druid’s temple. It was built by the landowner during a time of hardship for the people of the village to give them some work to earn money.

Amazing nineteenth century folly.Styled after stone circles and well known prehistoric monuments such as Stonehenge. The Druids Temple was built to alleviate local unemployment, allowing William Danby, a wealthy landowner of the time to pay workers a shilling a day for their labour. At less than 200 years old, it is nonetheless an atmospheric and intriguing location. Despite its origin being common knowledge, myths and rumours of mystic practices have sprung up over its lifetime with tales of Devil worship and harrowing frights experienced by those who have spent the night. It's a bit spooky even in daylight hours!

Fun fast gravel riding!

Feels very remote here, but you're not really far away from civilisation. Pick your route. North up a stiff climb to Greets Moss. West on Apedale Road on exquisite gravel. South towards Castle Bolton with a great gravel option leading to the Sweet William Hut & Carperby.

Stunning location. Plenty of off road tracks available nearby with the fantastic Apedale Road just up the hill (It's a big hill...).

Hit grid crossing with confidence but don’t ride too quick as it’s a tight right hander straight afterwards. Then it’s a tight winding fairly easy singletrack climb to the top.

Hit at speed, when you get to the grid crossings make sure to hit with confidence otherwise you find them quite challenging to get over.

Steep switchbacks - definitely sight first before trying to ride
