9 Reasons To Ride The Headwaters Trail

The Headwaters Trail is a multi-day ride on bridleways and greenways in one corner of Yorkshire.

The circular trail takes you to the moors where three rivers rise - the River Calder above Todmorden in the South Pennines, the River Aire above Malham in the Yorkshire Dales and the River Don above Penistone in the Peak District.

The Headwaters Trail is 350kms long and is a unique 'off-road' experience as no other trail in Britain traces the flow of three rivers each with their own unique landscape. From packhorse tracks laid in the 1500's to canal towpaths built in the 1780's and traffic-free greenways on railway cuttings dismantled in the 1960's, the Headwaters Trail makes for a rich and varied riding experience.

There is an organised event in May for bikepackers or opt for the supported ride with campsite, luggage transfer and artisan food vans - a bit like a festival but you have to ride a long way to get there!

The Yorkshire Divide website has maps and trail info to guide you. The gpx file will be available to anyone by May 2024
