The Yorkshire Dales are a natural fit for road cycling, with long empty lanes climbing through limestone dales, big skies over open moorland, and some genuinely testing climbs in the north of England. From the flower-filled hay meadows of Wensleydale and Swaledale to the dramatic scenery of Malhamdale and the high passes of Fleet Moss and Buttertubs, there is no shortage of variety for cyclists of every level.
With 24 graded day rides and a 6-stage tour, this Cicerone guidebook by Harry Dowdell covers the full extent of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Nidderdale National Landscape. It also includes a special bonus route: Stage 1 of the 2014 Tour de France from Leeds to Harrogate.
The Yorkshire Dales offer long, empty lanes, legendary climbs, and sweeping moorland views. Comprehensive, well-researched and packed with practical detail, this is the essential guide to cycling them.

Harry Dowdell has been cycling for as long as he can remember. His first cycle tour was with school friends Graham and Dave across the North York Moors, staying in youth hostels at Wheeldale and Whitby during one of those long sunny summers of long ago.
After a lengthy break, when the bike was used only for commuting, he restarted cycle touring around south-west Ireland before moving on to France, Spain, Slovenia and Norway.
Moving to Nidderdale with partner Liz and taking up triathlon were the spurs to procuring a new bike. After a few months filled with lots of cycling to get fit, cycling for pleasure soon took over. Having got the bug again cycling is now his preferred method of exercise and of travelling around and experiencing new countries.
Harry continues to cycle regularly both at home in Yorkshire and abroad, and pays the bills working as a fitness instructor at his local leisure centre.
