Cycling near Huddersfield

It’s easy to get on your bike in Yorkshire. The West Yorkshire Cycle Route passes close by the River Aire and is suitable for all levels of cyclists – serious and leisure. The towpath of the Calder & Hebble Navigation forms part of the Calder Valley Cycleway and cycling along the towpath of the Selby Canal is a real joy. Part of the Trans Pennine Trail runs alongside Yorkshire’s River Ouse.
