For walkers, the Public Rights of Way team publishes Trail Leaflets, and the more ambitious can try the Trans Pennine Trail
The 'Round Rides' are a series of circular routes, ranging between 8 and 25 miles long. All show start/finish points, stops for refreshments etc. and on the longer rides short-cuts too. The main route covering 40 miles take part of each of these and combines them into one bumper ride. Pathfinder maps nos. 726, 727, 744, 745 and 746 cover the whole of the Borough.
REMEMBER
You should always observe the off road code:
- Keep to rights of way - find them on a map
- Treat plants and animals with respect
- Stick to the well used track - don't cause erosion
- Close gates behind you
- Don't leave litter and keep the countryside tidy, reduce the risk of fire and the attraction of rodents.
- Check your bike is roadworthy before you set out, especially the brakes, steering and tyres.
- Fit a bell - not everyone can see or hear a bike coming.
- Always wear a cycle helmet or riding hat.
- Be seen - it's fluorescent by day, reflective by night.
- Give way to horses and walkers when you are on shared paths and bridleways.
- Most accidents happen downhill - take care!
- Follow the Country Code
The cycle doesn't cause pollution or add to climatic change and horse pollution is good for our roses!
