Menethorpe Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

No problem picking up a bit of speed on this minor, "forgotten" lane between Menethorpe and Welham Hill near Norton. A peaceful and quiet spin here through the green farmland of this area: a pure pleasure to ride. The peace and solitude here make it difficult to believe how close to Malton you are.

Sand Hutton Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Sand Hutton is a small village dating back to the Domesday Book. Hutton comes from the words for hill and settlement so despite the flatlands around here there is a little climb to get up here.

There is a 19th century church, St Mary's, down a lovely tree-lined avenue and the ruins of St Leonard's, the previous 12th century place of worship lie in its grounds.

Winding Country Road Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Hold tight, smooth road surface and sweeping turns on a wide road make for a cracking descent. Keep wits about you for tractors heading up!

Leavening Brow Climb

Highlight • Climb

The climb to Leavening Brow starts just shy of 2km to the north of Birdsall. It starts more gradually and then ramps up once you have gone through Birdsall to the crossroads at the woods (The Aldro Plantation).

Turn right at the crossroads and make sure you stop to admire the view. On a good day you can see the Howardian Hills, the North York Moors and even the Pennines.
