Mountain Biking... |
 |
Wood View is the ideal base for exploring the southern area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of
Bowland on a mountain bike. We are a bike friendly house that understands you will probably come home covered in mud
and that your first priority, after you have cleaned your bike, will be a hot drink and some of Sue's home made
cakes before having a much deserved bath or shower. Free bike washing facilities are available, as well as
drying facilities for kit and lockable bike storage.

This is Three Peaks country with stunning limestone scenery and biking terrain to suit all tastes, from
fast technical single track to wide open fells; from long swooping descents to lung bursting climbs.
The area was also featured in issue 35 of Singletrack mountain bike magazine in an article entitled 'Purest Green',
with an account of a 5 day tour of the Yorkshire Dales run by Stu Price of Dales Mountain Biking. Further information
can be found by using the links below.

You can ride from the door and cover 25 km of good trails without ever being more than 5km from home, you
can head out on to the slopes of Whernside and under the Ribblehead viaduct (37km, 800m of ascent), complete a
circuit of Penyghent and Silverdale (34km, 770m of ascent), or take an epic ride across Malham Moor and return via
Littondale (50km, 1000m ascent) - the possibilities are endless.
To the south of Austwick, Gisburn Forest in the Forest of Bowland has a network of forest and single track that is
proving to be very popular with riders of all levels and The Pennine Cycle Way (Route 68), Yorkshire Dales Cycle
Way and the Pennine Bridleway National Trail all pass within a mile of the village.
