The North York Moors offers incredible cycling adventures for riders of all skill levels, from leisurely family outings to world-class mountain biking.
Explore the huge network of downloadable cycling routes spanning the North York Moors and Howardian Hills. There are miles of country roads, bridleways, forest tracks and disused railway lines to discover.
The North York Moors is a fantastic location for cycling, whether you’re a family cyclist or a world-class mountain biker.
Check out the three dedicated cycling centres:
- Sutton Bank – for families and those new to mountain biking
- Dalby Forest – for families right through to more experienced mountain bikers
- Yorkshire Cycle Hub – for more experienced mountain bikers and road cyclists
Immerse yourself in the best the National Park has to offer by pedaling the ‘Moor to Sea Cycle Network‘. 150 miles of picturesque landscapes and some of the finest scenery in Britain. We highly recommend the “Cinder Track” section, a 21-mile stretch between Scarborough and Whitby. Cycle along an old railway line, complete with stunning sea views. Followed by well-deserved fish and chips at the end.
For those who prefer tranquil moorland roads, the 171-mile North York Moors Cycleway guides road cyclists through a figure-of-eight loop on quieter routes. All of which highlight the region’s natural beauty.
Previously, as self-proclaimed fair – weather cyclists, we’ve shared our highs and lows of cycling in the area on our blog.
Big Bear Bikes are the main place we suggest hiring a bike from; they also run the bike hubs in Dalby. You can also hire bikes at Sutton Bank.
We are proud to be accredited “Cycling Friendly” by the North York Moors National Park.
