Adventures by bike
Yorkshire is England’s largest county. It is home to 5.5 million people. It is also home to 25 major rivers and the living things that depend on the water.
The Yorkshire Divide takes 10 of these rivers and the old drovers lanes, bridleways, moorland singletrack and quiet country roads that run along the high ground where the rivers rise and across the floodplain where they meander as the inspiration for three routes:
Calder Divide Trail - 160km / 240km
Headwaters Trail - 325km
Source to Sea Trail - 700km / 850km
The Trails
Join us as we connect every imaginable grade of trail from grass covered drovers lanes built in the 12th Century, moorland singletrack trod in the 17th Century and traffic-free cycle paths opened in the 1990’s.
THE EVENTS
The Calder Divide Trail is the only multi day ‘off-road’ route in the world that connects old tracks along the high ground - the watershed - of a single river:
River Calder
