Yorkshire Mountain Biking

We are blessed with a maze of bridleways, forest tracks and disused railway lines in the area, ideal for exploring by pedal power. Yorkshire Mountain Biking can guide you around the area - either using your own bike or hiring one of theirs. They also offer E­mountain bike hire, power assisted mountain bikes meaning you get all of the fun with less than half the effort!

All their guides are regular road and mountain bike riders and are fully qualified and insured. They offer guided rides at all levels from beginners through to advanced; and for individuals and groups. Or, you can simply hire a bike and explore the area for yourself! Bikes can be delivered to Studford Luxury Lodges and you can pre­order a map with lunch and tea­stop locations identified for you.

Booking is easy via the website www.yorkshiremountainbiking.co.uk.

Sutton Bank Bikes

There's a great family cycle centre based at the nearby Sutton Bank National Park Centre with a purpose-built skills area and a choice of three trails including a 3-mile family route. Bike hire is available from Sutton Bank Bikes. Keen mountain bikers should check out the world mountain bike championship centre in the Dalby Forest and Newbridge Park Cycle Centre in Pickering.
