Ellingstring 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

A classic stretch of high Pennine moorland, shaped by centuries of lead‑mining, with old hushes, spoil heaps, and trackways still etched into the heather. The moor forms part of the Reeth–Grinton–Harkerside upland block, giving wide, open views over Swaledale. Spectacular under a layer of snow in winter.

Pit-stop for a super coffee or pint.

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.

Masham is a small market town that is built around a large square. It has held a market charter since 1250 and thrived due to the easy access of the flocks of sheep from nearby Fountains and Jervaulx Abbeys. There is still a sheep fair every September where huge numbers of sheep are bought and sold.

Masham Market Place is one of the largest in England. It has elegant Georgian houses that stand around its periphery and an ancient cross with cobbled area at its centre.

Part of the Swale Trail out from Gunnerside. Great valley ride and up from the old lead workings. Would have been better if the rain had not been torrential but par for the course on this day.
