For riders of this, this summer (2023), the aldwark toll bridge is completely closed. Some riders i met later on on the route claimed you could cross on a nearby golf course, but I couldnt see that at the time. I took a lengthy diversion which involved some of the A59 which is very unpleasant, but there aren't any other bridges before york. Other than that, it's a magnificent route. Don't be ashamed to push up Settle hill. and test your brakes before Pateley Bridge.

Done the route and took the diversion at the Golf Course at Aldwark Bridge. As you approach the bridge there is a footpath by side of golf course on left. Follow the river path for circa a mile and then over a bridge and cycle back down the road.
Great route and yes I had to walk up the hill out of Settle
