£2.7 Million Cycling Boost
National parks are to benefit from an extra £2.7 million funding from the Department of Transport. The money will be shared between five national parks in the UK to help develop new cycling facilities.
The funding will help create additional cycling routes which will improve links between the parks and nearby areas, access for mountain bikers will also be improved in some areas.
Dartmoor is to spend £675,000 to deliver five schemes, including on-trail improvements and improved links to nearby areas.
Yorkshire Dales will be given £450,000 to transform a stretch of the Leeds to Liverpool Canal creating a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
South Downs will receive £450,000 to upgrade existing routes to create "easy access" cycling facilities to boost mountain biking.
The Peak District will receive £430,000 to create a new short cycle link providing access from North West Matlock to the Monsal Trail.
And the Norfolk Broads will be given £715,000 to construct a shared cycleway footway connecting Wroxham to Horning.
