2014 Tour de France for Yorkshire

cycling small

It's a shame for the public and the riders that the 2014 Tour de France isn't coming through Rosedale Abbey and up the iconic Chimney Bank "chain breaker" - the steepest public road in England!

But the loss of the tour across the the North York Moors is not all bad news for us in Rosedale.

That's because the professional cyclists on the Tour move so fast that they won't have a lot of time to take in the fantastic scenary of the North Yorks Moors!

Unlike our regular cyclists visitors to the North York Moors National Park - and other walkers and holidaymakes - they also don't get stop and enjoy a cake at lour local bakery!

And there is certainly no time to slow down and take in a local art gallery, do some bird or wildlife watching, or rock pool for surprises over at Robins Hoods Bay.

Luxuriating in our comfortable kingsize bed or enjoying a pint at one of our "local" pubs here in Rosedale is also not something the professional cyclists would everget to do.

But for regular folks wanting a great holiday experience, the North York Moors around Rosedale Abbey are fantastic for gentler forms of cycling.

In Rosedale we've got plenty of softer adventure cycling opportunities for families, and also great mountain biking routes through Dalby Forest.

Rosedale has places where anyone can enjoy a great bike ride if they enjoy moderate physical activity.

So feel free to use our "holiday planning" section to check-out what is on offer in the North York Moors National Park.
