Awesome views, an unmissable highlight. An interesting monument, known as an aedicula, stands at Jerry Noddle, which depicts a sculpture of a winged sheep made by sculptor Fiona Bowley. Commissioned in 2020 during the national lockdown, its 14th century armour represents protection against the Covid pandemic.

Hawsker was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway. It opened on 16 July 1885, and served the villages of High Hawsker, Low Hawsker and Stainsacre. Previously used for potash. Now a nice memorial in place of a time that was. You can go onto the train and have a cup of tea and piece of cake. A reat and memorable stop mid ride.

A stunning piece of industrial architecture with amazing views across Whitby and out to the North Sea. Used on occasion for Bungy Jumping experiences but generally makes for a unique site to visit walking distance from Whitby centre.

A very comfortable tarmac stretch for a few kilometres on Dalby Forest Drive between Red Dike and Bickley Gate. An opportunity for smooth, fun and joyous pedalling in between the trees with relatively little traffic in the summer to barely any in the autumn and winter months.

This is the usual place where people go when they choose to do their Dalby Forest adventures! There's a car park, a café, tourist information, trail maps, bike hire, and much more. This forest is in a dark skies area too, so there are two observatories here hosting stargazing events from time to time. An obvious place to make a stop on your Tour, particularly if you need some good coffee and much-desired flapjack!

Great is the call of the village of Thornton-le-Dale, often considered one of the prettiest villages in Yorkshire. The thatched cottage, called Beck Isle, next to Thornton Beck, is a Grade-II listed building. There's also the beautiful All Saints' church on the eastern end of the village. Thornton Beck runs alongside the main road, a pretty spectacle in itself, and the pond in the middle of the village is a pretty sight as well. There are places to eat and drink here, so you won't go hungry, either. Make sure you stop at this beautiful place. It's worth it!
