Ancient Road that goes from Kilnsey to Malham tarn. This starts off steady but really cranks up the gradient as you get closer to the summit. A good challenge for many cyclists.

Kilnsey Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Fantastic descent into the valley. Worth the climb. Although for the most part it isn’t technical watch out for the odd rock garden or hidden dips to catch you out. Lots of bits and bobs to jib off
