The road to the west side of Pickering is decent to ride on, it is a main through road with wagons and all kinds driving through, but I never felt unsafe riding here

Obviously, take care crossing any railway tracks. Beyond this, this is a heritage North Yorkshire Moors Railway crossing, meaning you might just see one of the heritage trains on this Pickering to Whitby line.

A level crossing here across the tracks for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The Newbridge station is next door - this heritage railway line links Pickering and Whitby. It might be useful to wait around to do some trainspotting!
