PENNINE CYCLEWAY - click on Red Text for links to other pages
In its entirity the Pennine Cycleway runs to
over 350 miles from Derby to
Berwick-upon-Tweed. The section through West Yorkshire runs from south
of
Holmfirth to the moors above Hebden Bridge. Like the West Yorkshire Cycle
Way it is unashamedly a challenge route, taking in the best of the
Pennine
Scenery. Being part of Sustrans' National Cycle Network it also uses
quiet
roads and good quality traffic-free paths where possible. Some steep
gradients combine with stunning views.
