Cycling
The National Cycle By-ways
This great region, brought together as one for the purposes of The National Byway route, is a state of mind rather than a place. It represents a set of particular values, and over the centuries these have helped to shape the place that it is today. As has its history: Roman and Viking civilizations flourished here, medieval barons fought for what they believed in - or coveted. In Victorian times Yorkshire was a powerhouse of the industrial revolution. It still makes its presence felt in modern times and it passes at the bottom of our lane.
