Embark on the Nidderdale hilly loop from Pateley Bridge for a challenging racebike experience through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This difficult 52.7-mile (84.7 km) route, which takes around 4 hours and 38 minutes to complete, features predominantly hilly terrain with well-paved surfaces and ferocious climbs. You will gain 4751 feet (1448 metres) in elevation, tackling ascents like Greenhow Hill with its vicious 18% gradients out of Pateley Bridge. As you climb, you will be rewarded with fantastic scenery, including rugged open moorland, green meadows, and views that can extend to landmarks like Fountains Abbey. The route often follows rivers like the Nidd and passes through charming small villages, offering reflective rides in silent solitude at higher elevations. Expect a hard road ride that will test your fitness.
Starting from Pateley Bridge, a popular hub with amenities, you can easily access this demanding loop. While the route is generally on well-paved roads, be aware that some less-trafficked lanes might have tight, winding sections with unrelenting gradients and even some gravel or holes. There are no specific permits or fees mentioned for this area, but always check local conditions before you set out. Given the significant climbs and duration, plan your visit for good weather and allow ample time to complete the ride comfortably.
Nidderdale is renowned as a premier cycling destination, with its roads having hosted major events like the Tour de France and the Tour de Yorkshire. This area offers
