Austwick Lanes

Route Overview & Local Insights

An anticlockwise loop around Austwick using a mix of village streets, quiet lanes, and short rural tracks. The run combines tarmac sections through the village and along minor roads and farm tracks. Surfaces vary between smooth road, compacted stone, and occasional rougher bare earth stretches, especially near the Wharfe area. Gradients are generally gentle, with a few short undulations rather than sustained climbs, making the route runnable throughout. Expect open views across surrounding farmland punctuated by sheltered lane running near hedgerows and walls. Underfoot conditions can change after wet weather, when some off-road sections may become soft or muddy.
