Must-see places - cycling in the North York Moors?

The Other PaulG · Aug 7, 2020

In a few weeks I will be heading to Osmotherley with a few mates to do some road cycling in the NYM National Park.

What are the must-see sites? Any particularly brilliant coffee stops? Pubs in/near Osmotherley? Best chips???

Some lovely villages, like Goathland and Beck Hole with it's tiny pub http://beckhole.info/bhi.htm
Mallyan Spout https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/v...ks/walking-routes/mallyan-spout-and-beck-hole
Lots of great walks, like the Lyke Wake Walk (east to west) or the Cleveland Way, or Newtondale Trail.
TBH lots to see and do. I like Robin Hoods Bay too.
probably best Fish & Chips in Whitby but I don't know the area well enough...

Excellent!! I assume there'll be plenty of Black Sheep ale too. You have to be careful to re-hydrate fully after a cycle, you know.....

I'd plan a visit to The Star Inn at Harome....and spend some time cycling round the Howardian Hills rather than NYMNP, it is likely to have quieter roads with stunning scenery and a visit to the cafe at Castle Howard is do-able, as is the superb bakery at Hovingham (I called 3 weeks ago and simply asked the lady for 4 buns/cakes and 2 coffees...she chose the buns...all were superb.

Masham then ...... home of Black Sheep and others plus Bordar Cafe (yes I have spelt it correctly) White horse fish and chips at Thirsk or
Riverside fish and chips Whitby which is on the old side near the boat yard --Forget Trenchers The Magpie or Mr Chips they are over hyped and just for the gullible tourists, Golden Lion and Queens Head both nice pubs with good food in Ozzy lots of good village pubs to try in surrounding area Borrowby/ Thornton Le Beans / Nether Silton

If you Go to the Crosby at Thornton Le Beans give me a shout I live opposite

Masham isn’t near NYM

Yep
Everywhere in Yorkshire sells Black Sheep

I quite enjoyed trundling along the Dalby Forest Drive. There was a farmhouse serving cream teas halfway https://goo.gl/maps/TxaLoWBfhYwD2pRFA - seems the area has been developed a lot with loads of cycling trails

Don't you be coming up here bringing one of those bicycle things

There are enough of the twats already

Popell · Aug 7, 2020

If you do fish and chips in Whitby,(everyone seems to like Magpie...) protect your purchase!
Got mugged and lost half the fish, most of the chips and my wooden fork......effin’ seagulls!

you should be bigging up the Dalby Trails to keep the MAMILs off the proper roads...

They left us well alone when we went a few years ago. I did buy them their own portion of chips and scraps though.

Ha Ha, I was expecting that! I'll make sure we're all off the road by 10am to make space for Bavaria's finest :beerjug:

Brewery - Black Sheep and Theakstons in Masham both worth a visit, would be a good ride too.
Fab in Yorskshire, as many other places, Enjoy

Thanks everyone for the advice - this gives us lots of great scope when planning routes. :beerjug:
