If you squint a bit some of the trees could be Y shaped, so maybe the Wye valley? And if not, our process of elimination (Not: Scotland, Wales, Derbyshire, Cumbria or the Chilterns) continues.The clue was more critic than literal

do you want to specify which of the 170 miles?
Actually you guys seem to need another clue, so whilst I did start out in Morecambe on this ride, I didn't finish in Brid, but I did finish up on the East Coast, here.
I've also ridden it in the other direction on an organised sportive.

that is indeed where we finished
Nothing to do with Abbeys or other religious buildings or institutions. Look carefully at the cryptic clue again.
As an aside the location is relatively close, 20-40 miles at a guess from all of Rievaulx, Byland, Kirkham & Whitby Abbey/Priories.
The presence of trees was the best literal clue.

I still can't work out what the cryptic clue means, even having found the road

The footpath leads to the car park for High Staindale, with a viewpoint area before that, but I can't see any names that connect with that clue.
EDIT
"By the way it's the sort of place one goes for restful contemplation, which may explain the path"
Was that all there was to it?
