Starting from Langdale End, you will ride west on this route via the beautiful Dalby Forest. Its network of off-road cycle trails is well known. Eventually, you will reach Dalby Forest Visitor Centre, a great place to stop for refreshments.
Once out of Low Dalby, where the Visitor Centre is, you proceed south towards the pretty village of Thornton-le-Dale. We would recommend stopping here to look at the beautiful thatched cottage known as Beck Isle. Pickering – the gateway to the North York Moors National Park for many – is a few kilometres to the west of here.
It’s a hilly ride, with the hard work rewarded by some fantastic freewheels downhill. Almost the whole stage is forested, which makes it a sheltered route on a windy day.

Thornton-le-Dale — Village Highlights
Highlight • Settlement
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!
