View CraggVale in a larger map
A stunning bike ride right up to the tops!
To avoid a very hard ride up Tuel Lane in Sowerby, take the next right turn (Gratrix Lane) just after the Navigation Pub in Sowerby. Follow the map along some very nice lanes and eventually emerge onto the A646.
In Mytholmroyd, take the next left turn after going over the river, following the signs for Cragg Vale. Its a five mile route ascending all the way up to Blackstone Edge reservoir, nothing too taxing, just very long!
Descend to Ripponden, then take a sharp right turn along the A672, eventually going under the M62. This is a steep road!
Downwards to Denshaw and up again to the top of Saddleworth Moor. I took the downhill route to Brighouse which was a real reward after a hard ride.
(6217 feet of climbing altogether)
