Nottingham to Durham, what is there on the way?

[jameswood]

In mid June i've got a journey to make up to Durham and back on my bike, it's going to be a fair trek for the little 125cc but im happy to do it over a couple of days if need be.

Can anyone tell me what things there are to see and where the best roads are, im not doing motorways. At the moment im planning to go up the peak district and then up and across the Yorkshire dales simply for the scenery and roads.
Im more into the Views and natural attractions than the man made ones, but generally stuff you can ride past and appreciate and maybe pull over and take a photo of. Things like the ribblehead viaduct are certainly on the list!

Thanks, James

You could consider a more eastern route over the Humber Bridge and up the coast Bridlington Scarborough Whitby.
No Toll for bikes now on the bridge and it is quite something to see close up.

I used to ride manchester - sunderland on a 125 monthly.

Some absolutely fantastic views going up via the hills, just do a google route plan avoiding motoways and you'll see something interesting or at least nice scenery along the way
