The Source to Sea Trail is a long distance bikepacking route that connects bridleways and drovers lanes, singletrack and country lanes along the high ground where 10 of Yorkshire’s finest rivers rise and flow.
The Source to Sea Trail is 909km unsupported bikepacking route that lets you experience several unique places each worth exploring but all the more exciting when joined together on an epic ride:
– South Pennines
– Yorkshire Dales
– North York Moors
– a stretch of the Yorkshire coast
– Vale of York
– Humber Estuary
– Peak District
The 900km route takes you to the moors where rivers such as the Ure, Swale, Esk, Nidd, Wharfe and Aire rise and then out onto a beautiful stretch of the coast before crossing the broad floodplain to return to the starting line in Hebden Bridge.
On Saturday May 25th bikepackers will gather in the center of Hebden Bridge and head out on a new adventure. Maps and info on:
