Hutton-le-Hole is a beautiful village and is situated exactly where its name suggests, in a hole between the Tabular Hills and Spaunton Moor.

There are several cafes in the village, plus a pub and a lovely green to sit on if you need 5 minutes of rest. Sheep graze the village green so can be found wandering the roads wherever they please.

Hutton Beck winds its way straight through the village which really makes it look picture perfect.

Rosedale Chimney Bank Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Number 55 on the top 100 UK climbs, the Rosedale Chimney heads south from Rosedale Abbey and up onto the moors.

At its steepest the gradient taps on 33 percent, with an average of 13-14 percent for the entire stretch of climb (it's just under a mile).

A bit twisty as a climb, and the gradient ramps up on the inside of the corners so pick your line (and your gearing) wisely.

Abbey Stores

Highlight • Cafe

Great food, coffee, cake. Outdoor seating and a water tap in the garden for refilling bottles. Easy to keep bikes in view. Great refueling stop if you're passing through Rosedale.

Rosedale Abbey: Village Green and Graze on the Green Café

Highlight • Historical Site

Rosedale Abbey is a must to stop at. It is a village right in the centre of North York Moors National Park: descent into it from just about any direction is always spectacular, whether via Spaunton Moor (south) or Rosedale Moor (north), the views just do not stop giving.

The village is picturesque in itself, particularly the village green. There used to be a Cistercian Priory here, originally established here in 1158. Little remains nowadays, except for a staircase turret, a sundial and a single stone pillar. More recently, in the 19th century, the iron ore industry thrived here, but that came to an end in the 1920s.

If you like super-steep ascents, you would probably like to go up the Rosedale Chimney Bank road, south of the village, but be warned: it is actually notorious for how steep that is!

Pry Hills Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a beautiful and quiet lane between Rosedale Abbey and Cropton, with only minor traffic here. There are beautiful views of the hilly moorlands, particularly to the west, where Cropton Forest lies. Some climbs, but very gentle, and it's just a joy to ride this part of the world.

Village green and water pump, Cropton

Highlight • Settlement

The pretty village of Cropton, south of Cropton Forest, is a fantastic place to stop. There are a few places to have food and drink here, a rather lovely green with an old water pump and pleasant seats provided.

Of interest might be Cropton Bank, just north of the village, where there are remains of an old motte and bailey from the times of the Norman invasion.
