The recently opened Nidderdale Greenway from Harrogate town centre to the village of Ripley on the A61, a few miles north of Harrogate, following an old railway line.
7km
Full tarmac, traffic free cycleway - suitable for classic and skate.
In Harrogate, starts from the Asda store near the town centre, not far from the station. Best reached along Dragon road from the A59 Skipton road. Ripley is directly adjacent to the A61 and the way finishes at the village car park. There is also an access point on Bilton lane on the north side of Skipton road.
Available at both ends.
In Ripley there is the village car park, and in Harrogate there is a public car park adjacent to the Asda car park. All are pay and display.
A couple of short sharp slopes and tight beds at the Ripley end.
The A61 must only be crossed by the crossing, preferably on foot.
The way is already very popular and likely to be busy at weekends.
