Way of the Roses

 
Overview

The Way of the Roses is the newest of Great Britain's coast-to-coast, long-distance cycle routes and is based on minor roads, disused railway lines, and specially constructed cycle paths.

Description

The Way of the Roses is a beautiful coast to coast ride that rewards a bit of effort on hills with the most spectacular countryside – including the Yorkshire Dales and the Yorkshire Wolds. Cycling west to east is best to avoid headwinds. The route is mostly on quiet country lanes and is well signposted with the white and red roses of York and Lancaster guiding you all the way.
