Cycling in Calderdale is very popular. Whether you are a beginner favouring easy routes alongside the Hebble and Calder or Rochdale Canals or an expert keen to pedal off road through the South Pennine landscape, there are routes for everyone. The 2019 Tour de Yorkshire took place here too.
Choose the National Cycle Network Route 66 also known as the Calder Valley Greenway for a gentle ride on a mainly traffic free waterside route from Walsden in the upper valley to Brighouse further down.
Or how about the intermediate level Calderdale Loop which is 15 miles, part of which follows the Pennine Bridleway National Trail?
But if you are super keen, and love off road challenges, the Mary Towneley Loop may be just for you. It’s 47 miles of challenges, steep inclines and descents and beautiful views. For more details see https://www.visitcalderdale.com
