Biking in the Dales

Dales Bike Centre

The Yorkshire Dales and particularly Swaledale offer bountiful rewards for mountain bikers. An intricate network of bridleways and rideable trails criss cross the Dale giving endless options.

Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales is a stunning place to mountain bike but adventure here is earned. The trail network is almost endless however, navigation is a key part of mountain biking here.


We are lucky enough to have the Dale's Bike Centre right on our doorstep at Fremington, they have route maps available in their bikeshop, but if you can't fit your bike in the car, they have the largest selection of bikes for hire in the Yorkshire Dales - road bikes, mountain bikes, kids bikes and e-bike hire.

Ard Rock Enduro

If you are lucky enough to be staying on the weekend of the Art Rock enduro then you are in for a real treat! "The event combines a mountain bike Enduro Race, Sport Event, Intro Event and Mountain Biking Festival over three days in Swaledale. The course takes in 100% natural rocky descents and breathtaking transitions, making this different from your average trail centre enduro! One off access to private land means The 'Ard Rock Enduro takes in gnarly, rock strewn terrain that is only rideable during the event. A special 45km loop (measured in country miles) with either 4 or 7 Alpine-style timed stages on natural rock-strewn terrain, what's not to love." 

There are several stages that visitors are able to watch, its a great, fun weekend with a festival atmosphere down at the Bike Centre and well worth getting involved in! Dates vary but more information can be found by clicking here.
