Bevern Stream Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

There's a choice to be made here - you can either brave the water or carry your bike over the footbridge. I recommend the ford, but take it easy as it can get slippery when wet.

Meadowsweet Cottage

Highlight • Settlement

small ford to cross, runs quite fast after heavy rain

Tip by

Looking towards the slopes of the Downs escarpment on this section of your ride, you’ll see a wooded V on the hillside. Over 3,000 trees were planted here in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.
