An ancient market town that is still thriving today, dominated by its Priory Church which dates back to Anglo-Saxon times. An ideal place to grab a hot meal in any of its pubs and cafes, or visit the local brewery.

Sandy / gravelly section of the TPT north of Sykehouse. It's a great short cut to a quiet road crossing over the M62 to Gowdall and do-able on a road bike in summer but in winter, if it's been raining a lot, it can get really muddy and waterlogged. One Easter we had to wade knee-high through very cold water for about 25 metres when the last section of the path flooded at the southern end!
