La Vuelta a Dales

The scenic landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales are overlaid by an extensive network of peaceful lanes – perfect for a tour by bicycle. Ride through the national park’s best dales and passes on the 191-mile-long Vuelta a Dales route, and climb to the most far-ranging viewpoints.

From the market town of Settle, this circular trail departs the Yorkshire Dales National Park for Pateley Bridge in beautiful Nidderdale. It returns soon enough, and passes through cycle-friendly Leyburn into Cloverdale with a peak at Little Hunter Stones before an exhilarating descent into Kettlewell and Wharfedale.

Hawes, Reeth, Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh lie ahead on the way back to Settle, and there are challenges aplenty in the dales’ steep hills, the epic Fleet Moss amongst them. Vuelta a Dales is the perfect split between hard work and lavish reward.
