CYCLING ROUTE

Ilkley to Burley and back

Whilst this is a short cycle ride, the steep hill going up to the Cow and Calf rock may not make this cycle ride suitable for beginners. It’s a lovely ride past the rocks and alongside the moors and into the picturesque village of Burley and then back to Ilkley.
