Another of this countries fantastic coast to coast routes, Way of the Roses cycle route is 170 miles of continuing beautiful landscape, stunning river valleys incorporating the historic city of York. Cycling along quiet roads and cycle-way’s merging the red rose county of Lancashire and the white rose county of Yorkshire.
Your journey begins in Morecombe on the north west coast and ends at Bridlington on the east coast, tracking along the varying & terrific land of the Lune Valley and Forest of Bowland. The route has so much to offer and at no point will you be disappointed. The Yorkshire Dales National Park, Nidderdale (AONB) and the Yorkshire Wolds all feature on this route, Way of the Roses is an awakening of the senses.
National Route 69, specially built to celebrate 15 years of the National Cycle Network, offers a challenging terrain to be tackled by a moderately fit cyclist. A 3 day ride is best suited to the more competent cyclist, but for the tourists amongst us, this route can be enjoyed over a longer period, which enables you to absorb all of the attractions that saturate this route. Fountains Abbey and Studley World Heritage Site near Ripon are positioned half-way through this route and worth a little visit before pedalling on to Cracoe, Pateley Bridge, Boroughbridge, Pocklington and Driffield.

Firstly, if you need to be transported to the start of the cycle route you’re about to embark, you need to establish where you would like to be collected with your bike & baggage. Also, will this be one point for all or does each of your group require separate collections from different points?
Next, depending on the length of your cycle route and the number of days you’re cycling will dictate how many stop-overs you require. Find this out and we will collect your baggage and take it ahead of your arrival to your chosen accommodation, then collect it the following day and do the same for the duration of your cycle route. At the end of the ride, we will collect you and your group with bags and take you back to your pre-arranged drop-off point, again this may be one point for the whole group or individual drop-off’s.
