One of six routes rolled out with Zwift’s UCI 2019 Worlds map, “Royal Pump Room 8” is a “figure of 8” route which covers all roads in both directions. This is the longest Yorkshire route in game.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Harrogate made its fortune by drawing often wealthy people to come and drink its waters, which had a supposedly curative effect. Known to locals as “The Pump Rooms”, the Royal Pump Room is one location where these odorous, sulfurous waters emerged from the ground.
The building is located on course at the main intersection, where the northern and southern loops come together.

One of six routes rolled out with Zwift’s UCI 2019 Worlds map, “Tour of Tewit Well” covers the larger southern portion of the course in a counter-clockwise direction.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Harrogate made its fortune by drawing often wealthy people to come and drink its waters, which had a supposedly curative effect.
Tewit Well was discovered in 1596, and named after the local word for peewit or lapwing, a bird common to the Stray parkland where the well is located.

I clicked on the Queens Highway last night, I did 11km and 211m of climbing and I still didn’t complete the achievement!!! Is there a problem with the route or is the above profile of the route drastically out of date???
Those numbers just don’t add up as far as this route is concerned, sounds like you must have somehow made a U turn near the beginning or turned left at the intersection.
For what it’s worth, I did the same route as a warmup on Monday and got the badge, 6.5 km (about 1 km extra as I coasted all the way down the hill after the banner) and 90 m of climbing.
Hi. In the descriptions you mention 6 Yorkshire routes but only have descriptions for 5. Is this an error or is one of the routes missing? Many thanks Adam
The UCI circuit has a forward and reverse version, and we have both of those on the one post.
Today was my second time riding royal pump room 8. I went over 40k and 700m climbing this time. Went through at least 3 more gates, and never got a banner acknowledging that I’d completed the route/achievement. Not sure what happened there, but it’s not cool.
Same thing happened to me today. I went 25 miles but no banner appeared and didn’t get the badge. 🙁
Did Royal Pump Room for first time today, and got the achievement right around 27.8k when I went under the start gate. Nice course but tough if you hit the hills hard.
Same distance for me today 27.8km and 490m of climbing. I’m finding that all the ZwiftInsider.com route distances and elevation are unreliable, in some cases by a long distance.
Ummm… our data says 27.7km and 480m of climbing. Seems pretty accurate to me…? https://zwiftinsider.com/route/royal-pump-room-8/
It’s close but it’s not correct. There are others I’ve seen where it’s a lot further out. The more frustrating is what Zwift shows as the route when you select it. Zwift is nowhere near accurate. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate your hard work!
I understand your frustration, but it’s not a huge challenge to figure out the accurate overall length. It’s just the lead-in length plus the route length.
Zwift’s numbers are confusing in-game because they don’t tell you the lead-in length… but at least now they show it as a blue line at the start, so you have some idea of what you’re in for.
I was wondering if it’s the spawning that changes my results vs what you have. Say it’s really busy, like when 30k+ are riding, could you end up being spawned say a kilometre further back to create enough space for all joiners? Would certainly explain it for this route.
Good race on the Crit circuit today. You jumped in with a group of us in a league in SW England making up a lot of the numbers. You beat me!
These are very helpful. I’d like a to make a suggestion. It would be great if the title of each course included the distance and elevation gain. That way, you could get an overview of all of the routes without having to open each drop-down individually.
Thought I’d toss in my $.02 worth too. Rode both Tour of Tewit Well and Duchy Estate back to back two days ago, rode through the banner at the end of the route, uploaded to Strava as well, but I don’t have the ‘badge’ in the Zwift screen. Data (distance and Time) is correct on the calendar, and in my Activity Feed it shows “Achievement Unlocked” and in the Companion App it shows I got both badges. Just doesn’t show in the actual Zwift Program under badges. Got the ‘addicted’ badge yesterday and rode Royal Pump Room 8 and… Read more »

Thank you for the efforts so far!
I can’t seem to find the yorkshire forward sprint segment. Is this possible?
There is none, because Strava forces segments to be a certain length, and that sprint is too short. I’ve been complaining about it for years! https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000161524-Strava-has-decided-to-stop-anyone-from-making-short-segments-
Ik heb vandaag 10 ronden duchy estate gereden maar geen beloning gekregen dat ik de ronde heb gemaakt! Hoe kan dit
I do Tewit wells regularly.. I’m almost 68 years of age not a gifted cyclist and I found it an easy way to get 200 m of elevation in. I tend to the course till e get to 210 metres about 9 k then I do it again sometimes. Takes about an hour for 400m climbing. Currently doing the Everest challenge. It will take me ages but I’m finding this a manageable way.
