Dales Trail

The Dales Trail is a one day event taking you across bridleways and lanes on the moors and valley slopes that sit between the River Ribble and River Wharfe in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales. In practical terms that means you start in the town square in Settle, North Yorkshire and head due north to the spectacular Malham Tarn and then east to Grassington before looping back on tracks on limestone and peat back to Settle. There are 4 route options with tracks carefully chosen to suit different levels of riding and different terrain. Hence there is a 60km trail on good quality tracks that would suit a gravel bike or mtb and then three other routes which take very different tracks to bring you back to the finish line in Settle town square.
