Buttertubs Pass
A Scenic Masterpiece in the Yorkshire Dales
Buttertubs Pass, a celebrated route in the Yorkshire Dales, weaves for just over 5 miles between Hawes and Thwaite, its serpentine curves and sudden drops unveiling a tapestry of breathtaking vistas.
Named for the limestone potholes where farmers once cooled their butter on sweltering market days, this iconic road has long been a fixture in local lore. Its recent acclaim came as the setting for a dramatic climb in the 2014 Tour de France, where Jens Voigt claimed the polka dot jersey. Today, Buttertubs Pass continues to enchant both cyclists and drivers, inviting a leisurely journey through some of the most striking scenery in the Dales.
