    Cycling

    Bloworth Crossing used to be a railway crossing. The railway line (carrying iron ore) ran from Battersby to Rosedale for 11 miles. These days, it is a cycling and walking/hiking heaven. Easy, comfortable tracks to ride on with preposterously beautiful views in just about any direction your heart directs you to look at!

    Hiking

    Major junction of Rudland Rigg running broadly north-south and the Lyke Wake Walk running broadly east-west. West takes you past Round Hill to Urra Moor and the car park at Clay Bank, east follows the disused Farndale Railway. Most of the tracks around this location are very wide and easy walking.
