Hidden, beautiful scenic bike road (Halifax /W.Yorks area)

[kawakid]

Hi just did this run the other day and it is absolutely
f***ing beautiful, I had to stop to take it all in.

Worth a ride to.

Basicaly get to Halifax.


In Halifax take the Burnley Road, also sign posted to Mytholmroyd/ Hebden Bridge & Todmorden. This is the A646.

When you get to Hebden Bridge (Nice small town, very arty).

You will see a sign on your left saying for Heptonstall, there is a turning point to your left. ie (you can't signal right from the main road).

So you turn right out of the turning point and then left up the hill, direction marked Heptonstall.

Follow this road, after a minute or two, you will see a road marked Colne. This is a turn to your right.


This road is absolutely gorgeous hardly any traffic at all, the scenery just has to be believed. (its a very thin road and as you can see is hardly mentioned on the maps).

The road is quite thin and in places there is a 200 foot drop (just wide enough for a car).

Believe me on a bike its less of a worry.

Anyway here is the map.

(Ohh when you get to Colne, follow the road up to Skipton thats a
nice blast).

It certainly is a great road. The road up through Peckett Well towards Howarth is also worth a ride
