Winning tip: Terrific terrain, Yorkshire Dales
In Swaledale, between Keld and Reeth, the Swale Trail is a stunning 12-mile cycle track that snakes along the crystalline River Swale in the Yorkshire Dales. The terrain is manageable for rookie cyclists (that would be me rather than my husband and teenage kids) and there are plenty of stops along the way to have a cold drink and give the pedals a rest.
