Fietskaart Way of the Roses official cycle route map | Sustrans NN69

The Way of the Roses is a new ‘coast to coast’ route between Morecambe on Lancashire’s Irish Sea coast and Bridlington on Yorkshire’s North Sea coast which is due to open in September 2010. Passing through the historic cities of Lancaster and York, the 169-mile route also links the Forest of Bowland AONB, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Nidderdale AONB and the Yorkshire Wolds. Sustrans is co-ordinating the initiative on behalf of partners in both counties and is publishing a map of the whole route, which should be available in August 2010.

An alternative southern strand between the Dales and York via Harrogate and Knaresborough is scheduled to open in 2011, using the Ripley-Bilton Connect2 scheme route over the River Nidd gorge.

The Way of the Roses route uses existing and new National Cycle Network routes.

Route: Morecambe to Bridlington, passing through Lancaster and York

Distance: 171 miles from Morecambe to Bridlington. A southern strand heading through Knaresborough will be open in Summer 2011.

The Way of the Roses is a special cycle route celebrating 15 years of the National Cycle Network. It is a spectacular 'coast to coast' cycle route from Morecambe Bay (the Irish Sea) to Bridlington Bay, on the North Sea coast.

The route crosses the northern part of the red rose county of Lancashire before the broad breadth of Yorkshire, the white rose county, passing some of Britain's most stunning countryside and fascinating heritage sites. Such areas include the Lune Valley, the Forest of Bowland AONB, Yorkshire Dales National Park, Nidderdale AONB, the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Wolds. A great place for a refreshment break and one of the most interesting sites on route is the Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal World Heritage Site near Ripon.
