Join us for a ride over to Kettlewell to check out the Scarecrow Festival, it was fabulous last year

Leaving the station we head through the town past the castle and onto Embsay, leaving the village there is a 1.4 mile climb, for non ebike users, there is plenty of places to stop and check the scenery out (if required), once at the top the views are amazing, then its down to Barden over the river and the second short climb up past Storiths lane, then onto Appletreewick, Hartlington, Hebden, Grassington and Kettlewell.

We will spend 45 minutes here for lunch, take selfies etc. If you are short of time, there is an option to leave the ride here and make your way back to Skipton
