Asterton Bank Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Popular Shropshire Hills climb. Tough gradients and an old surface (still paved, but a bit uneven) but the views are worth the effort. Careful of the descents as with all downhills in the region.

The Burway Climb, Shropshire Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Stop and let your brakes cool on the decent - too much speed could spell your doom. There isn't a lot of room for a bike and a car at speed. Just saying...

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful up and down road through the Shropshire Hills, with great views to match the undulation. The surface is good so you can really go for it if you've got the legs.
