Steam Age Thornton Viaduct Ride

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour. Join us on this scenic traffic free route with far reaching views along a disused railway line.  Starting in Queensbury we pick up the National Cycle Route 69 and make our way towards Thornton on the completely traffic free path. Along the way we ravelling over the 20 arches of Grade II listed Thornton Viaduct which opened in 1878. This ride uses part of National Cycle Network (NCN) route 69.
