Polaris Bikewear Trail Of The Month: Roman Round Hawes

This month’s Polaris Bikewear - https://www.polaris-bikewear.com/blog... - route is a simple but stunning 32km hard gravel / easy XC loop heading out from the gorgeous village of Hawes in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. And yes that does mean a lot of cheese related highlights. But also a Roman road and fort, timeless dry stone wall pastures, raw rocky upland landscapes, a peat bog you can see from space and stunning panoramic views across several Dales. It’s super easy in terms of navigation and ‘trucker cap’ topography means a nice flat warm up, one big climb, a wildly remote loop at the top and then a big descent home again. Full GPX, route guide notes and photos are available at https://www.polaris-bikewear.com and let me know if you give it a go yourself.
