Quad biking at Ripley Castle is amazing, we had Rich as our instructor and he was top notch, chilled out, funny and relaxed and trusted you on the quads. If we ever do quad biking again, whichever site it is we will be requesting Rich as our instructor. He is a credit to the company. The quad biking is class, the route you go on has good challenges, good views and the terrain is great to go on. You can also get some speed up if you enjoy going a bit faster, would highly recommend and have already started doing so... thanks again Rich????

The climbing centre very kindly made space for my son and some friends to have a group session on the occasion of my son’s birthday when the planned party venue were unable to fulfil their booking. Despite the short notice it was a great hour of climbing and all those attending were engaged and had plenty of opportunities to climb. The staff are used to teaching kids and had plenty of strategies and tools to keep several ten year olds fully involved and encouraged to try their best at the various challenges. I want to thank Jonny, Josh and Emily who all helped rescue my son’s birthday party - really appreciate you all!

I attended a Webinar on the Geography of the Yorkshire Dales was really interesting, covered geography and geology, flora and fauna, and some fascinating insights into the human history of the area too. Mark is really enthusiastic and super knowledgeable, I didn't want it to end, and to be honest I don't think he did either! Strong recommend, makes you want to be out there, which sadly at present isn't possible...

Contacted Dave by phone at fairly short notice to enquire about hire for my two teenagers, wife and myself. After asking some questions about our ability and experience he suggested an itinerary and arranged to meet us with a selection of bikes at the start point. He made sure the bikes and helmets fitted us all and after some more route guidance we were off. We had a great time following the Nidderdale Greenway and Beryl Burton cycleway visiting Knaresborough and Harrogate before finishing the ride back at Ripley castle for a well deserved Ice cream. We called Dave again and he came out to collect the bikes. All in all a great service which led to a great day for us. Highly recommended.

Vern Overton Cycling hires out quality road and mountain-bikes at the most competitive prices. Fully serviced and maintained by a qualified bike mechanic, Vern also leads and escorts groups of riders whilst providing first hand repairs and maintenance on the move.

I contacted Vern from the United States and he responded immediately with road bike availability. Given measurements from our bikes at home, he set the hired bikes up perfectly! Should you need a helmet or a lock, just ask and Vern may be able to accommodate you. Each bike worked well and was fully kitted with pump and spare tube. If you are from an area with less hilly terrain or are not an especially strong climber, let Vern know and I am sure he will dial in your bike accordingly. He installed our pedals and provided excellent advice for a route into Harrogate as well as an amazing ride into the Yorkshire Dales. We rode about 18 hours that week with long, steady rides, shorter hard rides and race watching with some inclement weather and had no issues with the bikes. There is no better way to see that amazing part of the UK than by bike. Vern is an encyclopedia of riding knowledge in and with his expertise setting up bikes, I cannot imagine that one could do better hiring bikes in that area of Yorkshire.

An amazing collection of weird and wonderful rock formations: a great day out for families, climbers and those who love the outdoors.
Reviewed By FrequentFlier809627
Superb for all the family. Plenty of marked (disabled accessible) paths & lots of rocks to climb. There's really nowhere else like it. Be sure to see the Dancing Bear rock (above the visitor centre) &, just a little further on, the Balancing Rock. Make sure you visit the snack bar (check opening days) and try the hot sausage rolls - the best sausage rolls you've ever had! There's a large area of picnic tables by the snack bar so feel free to bring your own picnic. Parking, at the entrance, is extensive (free for NT members) with disabled spaces; Parking gets busy on fine weekends, school holidays & Bank holidays so try to arrive before 11.00 on sunny days!
