The Cragg Double simply named because it heads up England’s longest continuous road climb not once but twice. Starting in the small village of West Vale the route offers a mix of urban and rural road cycling and visits Sowerby Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge along the way. The route is not overly difficult and the gradients on the hills are reasonably kind compared to some climbs in the area. We would grade this route as hard to those less used to cycling long distances on the road.
