This is a great access point to jump onto the Cleveland Way from Cleveland Road. There is a car park a few hundred metres away to ditch the vehicle. This also happens to be an exceptional viewing point to enjoy the scenes of North York Moors

This section is good to ride on, nice countryside, scenic and good singletrack which are compact and easy to ride on. Bad weather would not really make these surfaces worse.

This charming café and farm offers lovely local cuisine and a variety of seasonal produce for sale. The vegetables featured on the menu are cultivated in the on-site poly tunnel, and everything else is sourced as sustainably as possible. Accessible only by foot, bike, or horse, the whole farm exudes a lovely sense of seclusion. It's the perfect place to stop and fuel up on a long walk.

This is the North York Moors National Park visitor centre, café and information centre. An excellent place to stop for food and drink or, of course, to start your adventures from. There is a wonderful pump track here, minutes from the centre itself (in Hambleton Plantation) and great rides through Cliff Plantation, too. There are excellent views all the way to Yorkshire Dales from near here. Also, spot the lovely wooden sculptures of animals peppered all over the place!
