This can be very muddy at times, plus the gate at the end of the track is very narrow.

Cafe & bike shop both take card payments (and apple payments even if theres no signal). Great place to stop for a slice of cake, sandwich and a coffee. Or bike repairs if needed (and a bit of clothes shopping with all the latest brands there).

While riding on the easy flat track here on Troutsdale Brow, you'll get to enjoy the spectacular, green and far-reaching views over Trouts Dale, towards Troutsdale Moor and Staindale to the north-west and more generally over Dalby Forest.

This is the usual place where people go when they choose to do their Dalby Forest adventures! There's a car park, a café, tourist information, trail maps, bike hire, and much more. This forest is in a dark skies area too, so there are two observatories here hosting stargazing events from time to time. An obvious place to make a stop on your Tour, particularly if you need some good coffee and much-desired flapjack!

Great is the call of the village of Thornton-le-Dale, often considered one of the prettiest villages in Yorkshire. The thatched cottage, called Beck Isle, next to Thornton Beck, is a Grade-II listed building. There's also the beautiful All Saints' church on the eastern end of the village. Thornton Beck runs alongside the main road, a pretty spectacle in itself, and the pond in the middle of the village is a pretty sight as well. There are places to eat and drink here, so you won't go hungry, either. Make sure you stop at this beautiful place. It's worth it!
