Holiday Information

The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle route is a circular ride of more than 140 miles that takes in the beautiful scenery and the dramatic coastline of the Yorkshire Wolds, a landscape that inspired David Hockney's Woldgate. Taking in grand country houses, nature reserves, historic priories, and some of the region’s most fascinating landmarks, combined with rolling hills, hidden valleys and peaceful villages, the Yorkshire Wolds is the perfect place to cycle and unwind.

Going west from Beverley to Market Weighton and Pocklington and then as far north as Malton, across to Bridlington in the east and then back through Driffield, you'll pass through lots of traditional Yorkshire towns and villages – great for tea and pub stops!

Known as the 'king of the wolds', both Driffield and the ancient market town of Beverley, with its breathtaking Gothic minster and lovingly preserved old streets and stone buildings, lie on lower ground within the arms of the crescent. Home to thousands of seabirds, Bempton's white cliffs are the Wolds rising impressively out of the North Sea. Bridlington's beach backed promenades are open for cycling and the halls and gardens of Sledmere, Sewerby and Burton Agnes Hall offer great stop off points to relax and explore a touch of history and culture.

The magnificent unspoiled scenery, beautiful ancient market towns, outstanding historic country houses, sweeping coastline and friendly locals, have many visitors returning to the region year after year.

This self-guided trip is for a minimum of 2 people and accommodation, luggage transfers and emergency back up are all included. We also provide detailed route notes and maps to enable you to do the route self-guided. Nothing could be simpler!

As seen in the press...

A 140-mile gentle to moderate circular cycle tour, ideal for novices (and with emergency backup if required), explores the winsome Yorkshire Wolds, from the quiet Howardian Hills to the dramatic bird-busy cliffs of the coast.

Everything we could have wished for...

From our very first contact with you we have been delighted with your excellent customer care and attention to detail. The service provided by Skedaddle was perfect!! Every member of staff with whom we have dealt have been friendly, efficient and caring. The office staff Alison and Adam, have been delightful and could not have improved their service in any way. The pre holiday information was everything we could have wished for, and the daily cycle route information could not have been better. We also really appreciated the .gpx files which (almost unbelievably) took us from door to door.

Our favourite day was the first day, travelling from Beverley to Pocklington, which was super. All the days were different and those “cheeky little climbs” were enervating. We enjoyed every day. We could not believe how efficient the luggage transfer service was, and we were astounded by the accommodation. We have loved this week in the Yorkshire Wolds and would like to thank you for a service which exceeded all our expectations when we first booked with you. Thank you Team Skedaddle. We now cannot wait for our next tour with you in September.
