Aldwark Bridge Diversion

2023-05-03T14:42:00+00:00

There is a short cut to the lenghty diversion saving many miles on the diversion route.

There is a public footpath to the left, 50 meters appox. short of the bridge. It goes alongside a golf course and follows the river for about half a mile. After half a mile there is a footbridge to the right which crosses the river and takes you onto a lane that goes past Aldwark Manor Hotel and then back onto the WOTR route. Good luck, you didn't here it here!

Mystery End of Route Sign

2018-07-01T06:53:00+00:00

The end of route sign in Bridlington has been missing for several weeks leaving many, many cyclists disappointed by the diminished photo opportunity available and in some cases, difficulty identifying where the route ends.

For those of you finishing this week, the end point is opposite Cappucinos cafe and near to the crazy golf pitch.

The sign was removed by East Yorkshire Council for repairs and is due to be re-installed in the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, thank you for your patience!
