Hartest Hill Test

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Only 30m of elevation but steep, hitting double digit gradients. Great for a quick hill climb test, or a fast run down into the village before the road rises up as it reaches the green.

Chappel Viaduct

Highlight • Structure

It can be seen from a long way off so useful as a distance marker. And who doesn't love a viaduct?!
