Settle Loop Print

The ride starts in Settle from the car park [pay for two spaces if used] or the Rugby Club [with permission]. Toilets are at the garage on the opposite side of the Village and food is available in the village. Normally we ride in an anticlockwise direction climbing the road to the track at the top, you can then go down to Malham for lunch, grass and water for the horse, then climb back to the top and continue round to Settle. Great ride in good weather.
