Way of the Roses

The route crosses the northern part of the red rose county of Lancashire before the broad breadth of Yorkshire, the white rose county, passing some of Britain's most stunning countryside and fascinating heritage sites.

Such areas include the Lune Valley, the Forest of Bowland AONB, Yorkshire Dales National Park, Nidderdale AONB, the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Wolds. A great place for a refreshment break and one of the most interesting sites on route is the Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal World Heritage Site near Ripon.

With many other great attractions such as the historic city of York, the Way of the Roses cycle route is a journey to remember. The route has been put together with years of experience of creating other fantastic long distance cycle routes like the legendary Whitehaven to Newcastle Sea to Sea route and the Coast and Castles Cycle Route.
