The Mast and Castle Ride

This is a fantastic route that really shows what a great place Kirklees is to ride in. Starting from the central Huddersfield Leeds Road Sports Complex the route heads through some of the lovely villages on the outskirts to Emley Moor Mast. Those who have not been up close to the mast are going to be in for a big surprise.  And for anybody who already has, what better way than to do it by bike!  There are a few more up hills and downhills before reaching the second iconic landmark in Kirklees, Castle Hill. This ride is a must of any cycling enthusiasts who wants to give their legs a bit of a stretch on a Sunday!

This ride uses part of National Cycle Network (NCN) route 66. To find out more about the NCN and other great places to cycle near you everyday, go to the Sustrans website (http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/national-cycle-network).
