Cam High Road is a great gravel route that you should definitely include in your gravel route or bikepacking adventure. The gravel road is in good condition and both the climb and descent are rewarding.

Ure Valley Back Road, Yorkshire Dales National Park

Highlight • Cycleway

Running parallel to the busier A684 this rolling road starts in Wensley & follows the valley for miles. Much the better option for cyclists as the traffic is light and views are great.

Cam High Road

Highlight • Trail

A dead straight ancient roman road that's best tackled on a gravel or MTB. From Bainbridge the ascent is very rocky, smoother on the descent to Ribbleshead Viaduct. The views are second to none from up here, especially on a clear day you can see for miles!

Fleet Moss Climb from Oughtershaw

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A road that simply has to be ridden if only to boast that you've ridden Yorkshire's highest road. The top of it is 602 metres above sea level.

Unfortunately the surface isn't great, especially not near the entrances and exits to the roadside farms, so that's probably why the Tour de Yorkshire et al haven't taken this road. Also it's really narrow so hopefully you won't meet any traffic.

It's steep, beautiful, with a flattish section about 2/3 of the way up before it ramps back up. There's the usual debate about which approach is harder (Buckden–Hawes, or Hawes-Buckden), and leaving from Hawes tends to come out on top as the hardest option. Nice descent if you do the easy side though! It's steeper from Hawes but quite a straight line so nice to pick up speed.
