cycle friendly accommodation

The whole of the Dales is great for mountain biking but there are some key hubs where you will be able to do great biking straight out of your accommodation.  These places have great places to stay, good public transport access, car parking, toilets, shops and cafes.  This means that once you get there you won’t have to move around.

mountain bike liveries

The New Inn at Appletreewick has been a mountain bike mecca for years.  The pub has a mountain bike livery equipped with everything you could need including tools, stands, somewhere to change and a wash down area.  You and your bike are well cared for, and the landlord, Jon Pitcher, is a font of knowledge of the local trails.

A new project aims to equip a series of other pubs in the Dales with a mountain bike livery to the same high standards.  You can be assured of top quality accommodation, food, beer and bike security, as well as advice and information.

Each pub will be picked to be in one of the Dales’ top spots for biking.  This means that after you get there you can leave the car and do great rides direct from the door each day.
