Carlton Climb

Starting from the Middlesbrough Cycle Centre, Alan Peacock Way, we head up Dixons Bank and travel west to Stainton and Thornton before traveling south through Seamer, Stokesley, Great Busby through Carlton and ascending Carlton Bank, at your own pace. This bank is ranked 58 in the ‘100 Greatest Cycling Climbs’ (2010). We regroup at the top, stopping for a well-earned cuppa and bite to eat at Lordstones Café, before descending Carlton bank, back into Carlton. We travel north towards Hutton Rudby, Middleton-on-Leven, Maltby, then retrace our route through Thornton, Stainton before returning to the Cycle Centre.
