Bolton Abbey

This lovely circular bike route is ideal for someone just starting to get into cycling as there are no significant hills.

While this is a short cycle ride, the steep hill going up to make the Cow and Calf rock may not make this cycle ride suitable for beginners.

A lovely easy-intermediate ride along the back roads by the River Wharfe to the Leathley Farm Shop & Café via Otley on the way back.
