Welcome to a new circular trail that connects bridleways and quiet lanes along moors and valleys shaped by three rivers. 

The trail takes you over Pennine hills and along limestone ridges, through two World Heritage Sites and several historic market towns, onto a thriving city centre and across the broad floodplain on traffic-free greenways, descents on woodlands trails and long climbs over moorland plateaus of millstone grit.

We’ve called it the Headwaters Trail as the 350km circular route takes you to the ‘head of the waters’ - the source - of the River Calder, the River Aire and the River Don high up on the Pennine moors or what locals call ‘the tops’.  The route has 5,200 meters of climbing.

The event starts from Mytholmroyd on Saturday 4th May with Monday 6th May as the final day.  Registration is via SiEntries and there are two options (1) Traditional Bikepackers ticket or (2) Ride and Camp ticket.  Details at our website.
