Embark on the Commondale & Great Ayton loop from Redcar, a moderate racebike tour that takes you through the diverse landscapes of the North York Moors National Park. This 38.0-mile (61.2 km) route features undulating terrain, quiet country lanes, and open moorland views, offering a comprehensive cycling experience. You will encounter expansive moorland and rolling hills, with iconic landmarks like Roseberry Topping visible from many points, and the River Leven flowing through Great Ayton.
This road cycling route, typically completed in 2 hours and 57 minutes with 1884 feet (574 metres) of elevation gain, is generally well-paved. However, be aware that some challenging routes in the wider area might include unpaved sections, which are not ideal for a pure road bike. For your convenience, you can find picnic benches and toilets at locations such as Lockwood Beck Reservoir, making it suitable for a day out. Great Ayton also serves as an excellent base for exploring the Moors.
The trail combines natural beauty with historical interest, passing through charming villages and offering a true taste of the region. You can explore historical sites like Gisborough Priory, a well-preserved ruined Augustinian priory, and visit Great Ayton, which was the childhood home of Captain James Cook. This loop is highly regarded by the cycling community for its varied scenery and engaging ride.
