Rosedale Chimney Bank - The Steepest Road in England!

A ride out on my Royal Enfield Interceptor motorbike that included riding up Rosedale Chimney Bank which is a road between Rosedale Abbey and Hutton-le-Hole in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, England. The road shares the title of steepest road in England with the Hardknott Pass in Cumbria.

The pass has an average gradient of 13%, with a maximum gradient of 1 in 3 (about 33%) and climbs 568 feet (173m) on its 0.81-mile (1.3 km) route.

It takes its name from a 100-foot (30m) high chimney which was built to support an ironstone mine which was in that area. The mine closed in 1929, but its chimney remained until it was demolished on 28 July 1972.

Sutton Bank is another steep one. Between York and Scarborough. When we used to drive up in my parents' car in the '60s, we used to park up at the top to let the car cool down. Haha!

While you're in the area ride from Egton Bridge to Rosedale, the climb from the Horseshoe Hotel is "interesting"

Steep but not very technical. Have a go at Hardknott and Wrynose passes in lakes.

Watch those sheep, sometimes they will just jump out in front of you.
