[Closed] Harewood House off road route?

there are quite a few options - and there will have to be bits of road to link it up - where do you want to start from?

Any knowledge on parking, start, finish points would be great thank you.

Not sure really, we'll be coming from Collingham/Boston Spa direction, so maybe the main entrance?

from the main gates if you travel towards leeds about a mile there is a left turn (towards Wike) opposite another - less grand - set of gates; you can park there.

At work just now - i'll pm you later.

Cheers

you haven't got an e-mail address in your profile - will post back on here.

Boston Spa I would go towards Scarcroft on the bridleways through Hetchell Woods, then get towards the Leeds Country Way near East Keswick and you get to Harewood Grounds at the top end of the grounds near Lofthouse farm (big iron gate) then follow that Bridleway round.

At a cross junction you can veer right through the grounds then down to the bridge at bottom of Harewood / Harrogate Road, Over bridge and River Wharfe turn right on bridleway and then go back towards Collingham.

Then you don't even need the car.

There is plenty of other options, but that should be ridable, some of the bits going towards Eccup will be hub deep in mud.

Pstokes99- do you mean towards East Keswick? or go through the main entrance of Harewood House itself.

Thanks for suggestions so far.

Most of the bridleways round there are ok for bikes IIRC.

there is a 90% offroad route that goes out to killinghall from eccup res.
when are you going.

Morning of 4th April.

There's a decent route starting at Linton via Wood Hall that I do as a night ride.

Email in profile if you fancy a ride out.
