I’m afraid I don’t have a definitive GPX file of the route. I set out to record one on my Garmin device on my most recent – clockwise – attempt, but only reached Sledmere before returning home.

I am without WiFi currently, so using my phone, but I should probably try to update this page when I have time and on a networked computer.

There is a short off-road section – typically mud rather than gravel/chalk – that you can read about on the Hints & Wrinkles page.

Sorry I didn’t reply sooner. There are literally hundreds of spam comments that I have to wade through to get to the genuine ones.

It’s great to read that you and your friends had an relaxing time. Yes the beauty of cycling in an around the Wolds – one of the many beauties – is that there are so many route options if you need to detour for any reason. Clockwise after Bridlington the official route drops off the Wolds proper and takes in the edge of the Holderness Plain so you obviously found a way west through the Wolds that you were able to enjoy. Cheers – Chris.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I know what you mean about Flamborough, it’s a more striking end to a long ride out to the coast. My only concern is the rather busy road that takes you there. By chance we stayed in a caravan near the other bay in Flamborough just last week. I spotted two close passes by other drivers after Sewerby as I drove along that road. Having said that, our cycling club’s old magazine used to have an illustration of the lighthouse there on its cover, so it must have been an acceptable route at some point.

Yes, the Wolds are a nice complement to the Dales and Moors. Aren’t we spoiled!

Sorry not to have approved your comment before now. I’ve just deleted 1600 spam comments, but it was worth it to read that you have had a good ride. Take care – Chris.

Great route! Thanks again
